Perfect? No. It feels crammed as the individual kid's greatest fear vignettes are done one after another. It would be fine except there are a LOT of kids. They are ALL great vignettes though. After the fourth I was just starting to think, let's get on with it. I missed the formatting of the book where King jumped back and fourth between adult and the kid flashbacks. To me, it was more fright fest than terrifying, the latter I associate more with movies with more deliberate rather than frenetic pacing and it is meant to be enjoyed as such. Other than that, I think the visual translation was impeccable, the sound outstanding and most of all the casting was the best assemblage of child actors yet surpassing even Mathilda and Potter. All these kids could act and I expect to see many of them grow to be A-listers someday. Bonus on the soundtrack selection. The choice of The Cult to introduce Beverly's character was just pure genius.
I recommend this visit to the cursed town of Derry, Maine.
Any news on The Dark Tower? Bad reviews.
With Vampires getting all cutified for the most part and The Strain taking it in a way too weird direction, I wonder if Salem's Lot will ever be redone and done well.
