"Cujo" is one hell of a suspenseful film, and Wallace deserves more praise for her bravura work. Tobe Hooper's adaptation of King's short story about a haunted laundry machine is insane in all the wrong ways. King himself has never been a huge fan of it. Cheesy and lurid, with very questionable visual effects and storytelling choices, but at least Mick Garris' film is never boring. If you like Kubrick's version of The Shining but are interested in seeing an adaptation of The Shining that's a bit closer to the events of the novel, there was a television miniseries made back in 1997 starring Steven Weber, Rebecca De Mornay, and Courtland Mead that's more faithful. 2020 Bustle Digital Group.
Thomas Jane plays a farmer plotting to kill his wife in this Netflix original, but of course irony rears its ugly head and his uppance doth come. Like The Shining, Blade Runner was also an unapologetically R-rated Warner Bros. movie that wasn’t exactly going to be a “Gee kids, let’s watch this after school tonight!” pick. "Apt Pupil" is impossible to watch without drawing disturbing parallels. Ewan McGregor in Mike Flanagan and Stephen King's 'Doctor Sleep'. Doctor Sleep review – sedate Shining sequel battles a new evil … boredom 2 / 5 stars 2 out of 5 stars. It's not terrible; it's just dull. When a young girl with "the shining" calls out for help, he's dragged back into the supernatural nightmares he tried to leave behind. Ewan McGregor is a terrific actor and (seemingly) a decent human being, but Ewan McGregor is not a “butts in seats” movie star and never has been. You wouldn't be able to forget it easily either.
Darkly humorous and surprisingly gross, it's definitely the highlight of this anthology -- although the other installments aren't half-bad. It's too absurd to take seriously, but if you get on this film's bonkers wavelength, it's undeniably amusing. “Pet Semetary” also has a straightforward concept: A haunted graveyard brings the dead back to life as malicious revenants.

Linda Hamilton and Peter Horton make little impression as our heroes, but at least John Franklin and Courtney Gains are scary as hell as the teen cult villains. Kubrick's film, however, does make a number of changes to King's 1977 novel â most notably it's explosive ending â and King himself has never been a huge fan of it. Thomas Jane (again), Timothy Olyphant, Jason Lee and Damian Lewis play childhood friends who got psychic powers from a disabled child and now are humanity's only hope, because an alien race of "s--t weasels" (actual terminology) is about to take over the whole planet. "Riding the Bullet" seems more personal than Mick Garris' other King adaptations, with earnest attempts to tackle big philosophical subjects, and David Arquette is entertaining as the angel of death.
