    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Stephen King says that he was genuinely frightened by this adaption of his novella. Frank Darabont described that as the happiest moment of his career.
    • Goofs
      The headline "Electric storm largest on record" on The Castle Rock Times is accompanied by "placeholder" text, commonly known in the publishing and design world as "Lorem Ipsum"- a derivative of Latin that is meant to have no meaning. Same for the text underneath the "Celebrating Heritage" blurb above the masthead.
    • Quotes

      Amanda Dunfrey: You don't have much faith in humanity, do you?

      Dan Miller: None, whatsoever.

      Amanda Dunfrey: I can't accept that. People are basically good; decent. My god, David, we're a civilized society.

      David Drayton: Sure, as long as the machines are working and you can dial 911. But you take those things away, you throw people in the dark, you scare the shit out of them - no more rules.

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits begin as the song at the end of the film fades out. As the end credits roll up the screen, the sounds of military vehicles (helicopters, tanks, APCs, etc.) can be heard over the credits.
    • Alternate versions
      Screenwriter and Director Frank Darabont wanted the movie to be shown in black and white. Eventually it was filmed in color but a black and white version of the movie is on the 2-disc DVD release.

    8/10
    A great film with awesome depth of characters
    I won't go into details as I don't want to ruin this film for everyone, but I will highly recommend it! One warning: Do not watch this film expecting a cheesy/entertaining horror, or even a high-quality entertaining slasher as this film is -all- about the characters and how extreme circumstances can bring out the extreme sides of human nature.

    By the end of the film I was literally on the edge of my seat - cider forgotten - with my hand over my mouth.

    Masterfully written screenplay (from the original short story by Stephen King) and masterfully directed, anyone who is generally sceptical about adaptations of Stephen King "horrors" will be rewarded by watching this, Frank Darabont has done a typically marvelous job (see Shawshank and Green Mile) and well and truly delivered.
