"Battleground" is a superb hour of television.  The premiere episode of the Stephen King anthology series Nightmares & Dreamscapes, "Battleground" was heralded as a "minor masterpiece" by the New York Times, and the Washington Post referred to it as "near perfection."  People familiar with King adaptations were likely not too surprised by the accolades; horror anthology series had done very well by King in the past.  "Word Processor of the Gods" and "Sorry, Right Number" both became excellent entries for Tales From the Darkside, "The Moving Finger" was as silly and weird for Monsters as it was on the page, and "Gramma," with a screenplay by Harlan »

(Paranormal Activity, Cloverfield, etc.) This might sound questionable on paper, but the result is genius. The thing I love most about a found footage anthology movie is that it allows you to experience some interesting and fun concepts without the risk that they would have outworn their welcome at a feature length. The film is structured around a wrap-around story of a bunch of Jackass-on-crack troublemakers »
