Factual errors: Early in the movie, the child is sick. Someone suggests aspirin. However, nowadays, aspirin comes with a warning label not to give to children due to Reye's Syndrome. Children's Motrin or Children's Tylenol should have been recommended, instead. more

A great film with awesome depth of characters, 1 July 2008
8/10
Author: the_li from United Kingdom

I won't go into details as I don't want to ruin this film for everyone, but I will highly recommend it! One warning: Do not watch this film expecting a cheesy/entertaining horror, or even a high-quality entertaining slasher as this film is -all- about the characters and how extreme circumstances can bring out the extreme sides of human nature.

By the end of the film I was literally on the edge of my seat - cider forgotten - with my hand over my mouth.

Masterfully written screenplay (from the original short story by Stephen King) and masterfully directed, anyone who is generally sceptical about adaptations of Stephen King "horrors" will be rewarded by watching this, Frank Darabont has done a typically marvelous job (see Shawshank and Green Mile) and well and truly delivered.
