Trivia:
The story on which this film was based originally contained references to Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series, which is set in a parallel universe somehow linked to our own. The character of Ted Brautigan later appeared in King's seventh and final Dark Tower novel, "The Dark Tower". moreGoofs:
Anachronisms: When Bobby picks up the payphone, we hear a modern dialtone. That tone was not introduced until the late-1960s, along with the introduction of touch-tone dialing. moreSoundtrack:

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.
