I know it was made a couple of years ago now,but I just came across it on T.V and remembered it was one of those movies that I had plannned on watching at the movies and by the time I got around to it,it had stopped showing,then I forgot about it.I enjoyed this movie,I think John Cusack made a great character and the movie was suspensful.What did you think of this movie?

Funny your mentioning it now. Last night it was on one of the premium channels and I caught it.

John was great and I especially enjoyed the beginning of the movie. Later, it just became a predictable Stephen King mess (except for, The Shining) IMO.

Ehhh.. it was okay. But I'm a Stephen King fan and have all his books and IMO the story was MUCH better

Pretty good...not the best, kinda weird visual effects, would have been better with a higher budget, and better directing, but John Cusack is a great actor. All in all worth watching if nothing else to do.

I watched it this past weekend and was bored to tears. Sadly, with the exception of Carrie, all of King's movies and novels does that to me. I really wanted to like this film as I love Cusack and Jackson but this film just blew IMO.


I did like the bit with the Carpenters' playing on the radio. That made me jump a couple of times.

I have seen it and liked it overall.

*** SPOILER ALERT ***

They really got me with the fake ending.

I watched it and it kept me glued. I was an early King fan, but have not kept up with much of his latest.

I've seen it. I have to agree with the "it bored me" crowd. The only saving grace was John Cusack.

Yes, the radio was the best touch of it other than looking out the window!
