User Reviews

Nice adaptation of a Stephen King's short story

I've been a huge King fan for years now, but it lasted pretty long since i discovered this little movie, that is based on a short story written by Stephen King. Not many action, but well acted by 2 young actors and directed by Jim Cole and Dan Thron...worth seeing. The storyline is simple, but has a typical King-touch at the end. Nice little piece of art.

-Spoiler-

Sorry, no blood, no "real" horror, just a nice twist at the end of the movie.
