OMG!!!! Gave me nightmares!

STEPHEN KING!

love it!!

the book is sooooo much better than the cheesy movie

Makes Me Really Glad I decided On Cremation

one the only horror movies in a while that really creeped me out

weirds

This is the first 'R' rated movie I ever saw. The most frightening thing for me though is when the kid gets hit by the tractor trailor.

Love it!

I think this was the first film from a Steven King book that did not transition well to the big screen. Good book though.

Pretty scary, the book was good too

Haven't seen it yet

I love this movie! Still creeps me out!

this one scared the crap outta me - never thought of a lil boy like that before

It still scares the crap out of me.

This movie is soooo creepy! The kid scares the crap out of me! I wouldn't be able to keep him after seeing this movie! I still can't sit with my legs hanging off the couch when I think about this movie!

Zombie cat!

  In some ways, it was King's most successful story, his most heartfelt. Again, not tremendously original, but strong and effective in spite of that. It still suffered from King's perennial weaknesses; unrealistic characters, contrived dialogue, the inevitable precocious brats, etc., but it didn't suffer as much as some of his earlier work had. As I remember it, the movie worked reasonably well, and the sheer grisly quality of the story itself can probably cause a chill or 2 all on its own, even if you think the acting (with the exception of old pro Fred Gwynne) was uninspired, or the special effects really not state of the art, or some other artistic imperfection. The only flaw that really stood out for me was the cute kid who played the protagonist's son. I never was able to accept him as a malevolent revived corpse. He looked like a cute little kid in Halloween make-up, acting scary for his parents. Not being a film-maker myself, I can't imagine the difficulties attendant in trying to come up with a convincing and realistically terrifying zombie tot, but given that said zombie tot is the primary focus of your story, you BETTER come up with an authentic appearing one if you really want to create a horror movie with teeth, instead of dentures. It's not a bad film per se; indeed, for a film based on the work of Stephen King, it's generally quite good. But if they had been able to overcome a few crucial flaws, they might have had a great horror film instead of a better than adequate one.

I dunno, it just was bad. Stephen King's books are so good I think they are hard to live up to in terms of film, but hey, if they could do it for LOTR, anything can be done. The Ramones song is probably the best thing about this. Of course now I've seen the other reviews and wonder if I should give it another chance, its been a long time.

I liked it to a lukewarm extent. I bought the book but haven't read it and now I mislaid the book.

I liked the cat deal and what did those morons think was going to happen if they let that kid run out with all those big trucks going by? Fred Gwynne was good.

This movie still gives me the creeps....(shudder)

I remember one time a few years ago when we were looking at the TV guide, and for some reason my mom thought this would be a good movie. I enjoyed it, but she was horrified.

I was pretty horrified to see a kid, a toddler really, play the role of murderer.  The only redeeming factor, really, was Fred Gwynne...I've always had a soft spot for Herman Munster!

The only 'horror' involved was the quality of acting. . .

This movie... yes, you can argue that its corny and all that, but really, i thought it was alright.  Older movies are allowed to be a little corny.  I think what made it really scary to watch was the fact that a child was going around killing things.  Also Racheals mental sister was probably the scariest thing on here!  The movie is a little twisted, but its pretty good.

Saw it once and to scared to watch it again, though I`ve tried. one scary movie .!!

I always loved this movie, but when I see it these days, it's a little dumber than it seemed when I first saw it. The last half hour is very scary. The kid who plays Gage is probably the creepiest kid I've ever seen in a movie. And then there's Rachel's ghoulish sister! SHE is one scary chick! But the lead actor gets annoying pretty quickly...too much of a melodramatic yuppie. 4 and a half stars for the movie, 1 and a half stars for the yuppie.

One great movie!

I didn't like this movie because although I love King, I also love dogs and really hate anything that is about dogs killing or being killed.

scariest movie of my life. the cat is evil as hell. eh hah ha ha

I am a horror movie junkie and i have seen them all from exorcist to ceremony and this is one of the three scariest and three best stories for a horror movie. im not sure you can make a better movie.

More laughable than scary.

i really din't like this much but i don't like shows with dead animals in it anyway. im a sissy that way.

Scared the crap out of me.

Behind The Exorcist this is the freakiest movie I have EVER seen!!! After the cat dies and then the kid, he plants them into the Indian Ground and they come back as not alive just EVIL... FREAKY!!!

See part one and avoid the sequel like the plaque.

One of the greats! One week after watching this, I had the terible task of having to shoot a Cat that had been run over... the problem was the next day the same cat was on my proch, alive! Same color as that cat CHURCH in the movie, also, any time you add a kid in an evil role it is realy SCARY!

Wow, i cant believe some people didnt think this was scary! i have to say that it is the only movie that has ever scared me, i saw it when i was younger and have refused to see it again. I can honestly say that it let me in comlete hysteria! I still have nightmares about it. I think i am scarred for life. and i am now severly terrified of leaving my computer thinking about this movie. It was a true horror movie though!

OOH the shoe left by the kid when he got hit...gave me nightmares for weeks.

scary

NOT a good adaptation of a quite good book...

not good at all

I didnt care for it too much. The book was way better!!

Not very scary, as are most adaptions of Stephen King's books. Bad acting kills what could have been a decent flick, based on a King classic. Instead, the book ends up being much scarier than the movie ever was. Read the book, miss the movie.
