Decent enough adaptations of King's short stories, 5 July 2007
7/10
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

I can't believe I watched the whole thing...but of course, I didn't do it in one setting. First is one of the best stories of the lot, which is "Battleground", with William Hurt as the main character, in which he's a hit-man besieged by toy soldiers after he's whacked a toy magnate. I was surprised how well this one works, and it's without dialog which makes it even better. Also a standout for me was "Umney's Last Case" in which William H. Macy plays a 30's detective who notices odd changes taking place around him only to find out he's merely a character in a story and that his writer is considering changing places with him. I did like "Autopsy Room Four" although the suspense works much better on paper than it does listening to irritating characters go on endlessly. "You Know They've Got a Hell Of A Band" is a fairly decent adaptation two but the couple is so annoying that they get on your nerves quite quickly. At any rate, there's a few goodies here, and a few middling episodes, but no real clunkers, although I felt like a couple went on far too long. This is apparently an Australian/US collaboration, so it does have a bit of a different slant to it, but still comes off fairly well. 7 out of 10.
