Reseñas (2)
The only bright spot is the music, co-written by John Cerpenter, it’s a really good, proper horror soundtrack. Otherwise, the film is completely devoid of sparkle – pun not intended. The screenplay in particular feels like a lot is missing.

An attempt at a Carpenter horror film, but the most Carpenter things about it are the music (which John Carpenter actually composed in part) and the list of carpenters in the end credits (which is kind of my attempt at a joke). The source material is one of those King books I read some twenty years ago and remember only the basic plot, but even so it is clear to me that the filmmakers misunderstood it and turned it into a bland, almost second-rate made-for-TV movie with uninteresting characters, which was not saved even by the cast led by the horribly miscast Zac Efron. The more seriously the film takes itself, the more ridiculous it gets. I'm sorry, but this is one of the worst King adaptations I've seen so far.
