It is a tad slow, but goes from a cat and mouse game to a straight cat fight, interesting watch on normality
Worth a watch for Ian McKellen’s performance and for a decent adaptation of the Stephen King source material.
Decent crime thriller movie, worth a watch
There are just enough thrills here to make this worthy of a viewing.
Old nazi mentors young boy, pretty interesting
A really scary film. Dark and moody great performances
Complex story and conflicting characters. A little bland but there are a lot of interesting moments throughout
Good Stephen King adaptation. Ian McKellen steals this movie. The story drags a little at times, but overall it's a very good movie
Starts out good and fizzles out before the end
This may B King originated, & I've distant memories of reading it in the 80's but not caring about seeing it as a film! Just wasn't worthy!
