Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Early in the movie, Ted mentions the Library Policemen. This is a reference to a story by Stephen King (who also wrote the source story for the movie) that appears in his anthology, "Four Past Midnight". more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: The shot is flipped at the end of the movie when Bobby is riding his Schwinn bike. The kickstand is on the right side and the chain on the left, opposite of where they should be. Also, note that one can clearly see the name "Schwinn" reversed on the side of the bike in this scene. This side of the bike should read "Black Phantom" when facing to the right. more
Quotes:
Carol: You're a strange person.
Ted: SHH! Tell no one.

Wouldn't've missed a minute of it., 16 March 2003
9/10
Author: D_n from Israel

To many, Stephan King is a well of horror, Lovecraftian chill that creeps upon us in the dead of night. So when his fantasy of insight comes along, they are struck blind, disappointed, let down by the mildness of the tale.

Director Hicks, screenplay writer Goldman, and the superlative team of Mr. Hopkins and young Yelchin have brought alive this artist's touch of Mr. King, in a finely crafted, sensitive film that just departs from the four walls of our mundane reality. In many subtle touches throughout the film, we -- even those of us Constant Readers who would read Mr. King's laundry list if he published it -- are guided through Goldman's skillful adaptation of the original novel.

Better than the book? Worse? No, this humble viewer will just say that the film can stand on its own, if we are just willing to let our eyes be opened to what can be.
