One of the rare cases where the TV show outdoes the movie. Still, Walkenites should probably check it out if only for his rare first billing.

It's a matter of perspective: if you're a fan of Stephen King, it's one of the better adaptations of his work, but as a Cronenberg film it's disappointing. I'm a big fan of both, so it evened out in the end. Christopher Walken is memorable but still obviously trying to find his niche as an actor, and he's never quite convincing in this role.

Definitely not anyone involved's finest moment. Needed more Cronenberg weirdness to avoid looking like the made-for-tv movie it does.

It seems really shallow compared to the novel, but I think someone fresh to the story wouldn't have a problem with it. It's funny because after reading the book I couldn't really see Christopher Walken in the main role and I still don't after watching the movie. This film is pretty disappointing considering it was good source material in the hands of a great director and it falls rather flat.

It's a pretty run of the mill Stephen King movie but Walken gives an absolutely masterful performance. Really top-notch acting work makes this a must-see for Walken fans

Rather slow thriller which finishes very strongly. Probably would have been better as a half-hour piece. Walken does that thing that everyone else likes to see him doing (myself, I wouldn't call it acting myself). Can't help thinking that Cronenberg was under strict orders to make something that every tv station could broadcast, so there is little of his originality/unsettling weirdness in this. But its fine.

One of the better King adaptations, which isn't saying much. I would have liked to see more of Cronenberg's style in this.
