    By no means a bad film, just a disappointingly bland and superficial one.

    It has some of that episodic 'compressed miniseries' feel which a lot of King pictures get stuck with (the book was later redone as a TV serial with Anthony Michael Hall) but still manages a lot of powerful material.
