Freaky Film, 25 July 2002
8/10
Author: Kevin (kevinwcasey) from Canada

I first saw this film at the age of 8 it scared the crap out of me and even though this was the first horror film i ever saw i was hooked in Stephen King ever since then. The story now seems a bit far fetched and the scarry scenes that i witness then, as i look back on them now they were pretty lame by todays horror standards.
