Strawberry Spring

I read the short story a few years ago and still remember the King "twist" at the end. This story seems to have done what Hollywood has done and just exploited King's name for attention while ruining the source material...I won't ruin the ending but it is vastly different from the story and so the story no longer makes sense.

Overall, for a student film, this was beautifully shot and I was impressed with the visuals. However, the story - at only 8 minutes - really drags due to a narrator who seems to be sleeptalking and nothing happens in the story that makes it seem worth watching. Like I say, I was disappointed, and not only because I know the source material, but even if I had never read the story before the film alone was dull, just atmospheric but nothing else.

Final Verdict: Read the story instead.
