Watched this, perfectly competent PG-horror but very nearly the defintion of perfunctory. As if AI made it, almost completely free of even a trace of personality.

I watched this today, and it was actually really well-done. Some scenes were direct from the book in terms of dialog, and the trims to make it fit the run time were well-chosen.

I keep waiting to see some reactions on this new one, haha. I'm actually just going to watch it tomorrow.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the original tv adaptation, in fact it's great. I saw it on tv in 89 and I've rewatched it on dvd and Blu-ray twice within the past 12 months or so - and it's still great.

I think you are misremembering, it is quite a long book, the first in his multi-character portraits of a small town in the style of It, Tommyknockers and The Stand. Not as long as those later books but still long.

Kinda odd they didn't go for a tv series as that would be a better for adapting the novel.

In the UK it's only been certified for theatrical so it looks like it's getting a cinema release of some kind over here.

Looks like this is going straight to MAX instead of to theaters.
