The movie is one of Stephen King’s darkest about kids killing adults, the film makes me uncomfortable which is good in a horror movie

A classic … that all horror fans need to watch

A fun Stephen King adaptation, even if it's a bit corny. The child actors do a really good job, and even if it's cheesy, it's still intense.

Unfortunately was directed and acted in a way that made the story rather boring.

They tried really hard to make corn scary. It didn’t work, but I had a great time with how goofy this movie was: script, editing, and acting
