Yeah I have found this to be pretty accurate.

Looks like it's gonna be a lot closer to the source material than the original.

Seems like they've nailed the horror tone too.

Can't wait.

Dude... I was hesitant to hop on board this train, but I'll be damned if that trailer doesn't make it more difficult.

I'm unsure on jigsaw and the new chucky movie I'll still see them but haven't seen a good horro movie for awhile.

yeah recent horror movies have been pretty lackluster to say the least . I did enjoy It Follows though (but that came out like 2 or 3 years ago)

This movie is going to either be a top 10 (if done right) or complete shit. There's just no middle ground with Stephen King adaptations.

Look at the shining. The movie is probably better than the book and that's due to Kubrick and Nicholson. Then you have shit like Dreamcatcher and Sleeepwalkers. Terrible.

The IT miniseries was ok for early 90's, (as was The Stand) but release that crap today and it'll be torn apart. With the technology we have these days there's no middle ground for these movies. All or nothing and from what I've seen this is going to be ****ing wonderful.

Absolutely. Interestingly enough, the best King adaptation movies have really not been horror films. Stand by Me, The Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption are all great movies. The Shinning is a top 10 all time film to me and it's certainly scary as hell but outside of that I struggle to find many King horror films that are really good. I like Silver Bullet and the first Creepshow was pretty good. Cat's Eye was good fun(not really a horror film). Cujo was decent. But none of those come close to The Shinning. I think this version of IT can. Not saying it will be as good and you can't beat prime Nicholson, but this has been a long time coming. For it to suck would be mind boggling.

One last thing, I really hope someone does a redo on Salem's Lot. Such a phenomenal book and the movie is just awful. Really a bummer.

The Shining of course easily at the top of Kings movie heap....but....what they did with the ending was tragic. they took away Jacks redemption (remember in the book he is talking psychically with Danny and comes to his senses enough to let the boiler blow) and instead had him freeze in a hedge maze. a maze which didn't exist in the book and seemingly replaced the hedge animals that came to life in the book...one of the coolest things in the story. but the ending...dammit. I heard King sued over the liberties they took with his story...no idea if true. at least the TV mini series stuck to the story.
hell hollywood screwed up the ending of The Mist movie too! talk about TOTAL SUCK! why do they do that shit. so annoying. it was worse than Old Yeller man!

having said all that...King has some good stuff on film. I really liked Firestarter, Carrie, Christine and Pet Sematary. good flicks. Cujo was tough to watch....just too slow....stuck in a car the whole movie. The It miniseries wasn't terrible....just too long... I'll be seeing this new one the day it comes out.

the idea of remaking Salems Lot is just great. I can't think of a King movie I've been more disappointed in. wonder who'd play the main.....

It Director Wants to Tackle Pet Sematary Next.

I was furious when I saw The Mist. They totally ****ed up the movie. I was so excited to see it that I bought the DVD(schedule with little kids wouldn't allow me to go see it). Watched the DVD and immediately threw it away.

OH....that's cool!
I remember thinking.....there is just no way they will have a little tiny kid on film trying to kill him mom with a knife. WRONG!
kids are just creepy man....

a remake could be cool....but....it could also be pretty bad. at least a big name will be involved giving it hope.

sick him on Salems Lot man!

you know....I loved The Shining...don't get me wrong. I figured the technology couldn't deal with the hedge animals so I could understand that. but the ending made me mad. the book ending just screams of redemption and love overcoming evil and they ruined it. so I was mad.

The Mist....like you...I was absolutely furious. I can't believe King thought that was a good idea. I can imagine the powers that be in a meeting saying...we can't use the book ending because there's no resolution. so they made up that crap! OMG. you're walking out of the movie just SICK. good job guys.
I liked the no resolution ending so much better than filicide. just sick man.

Yep. I agree

The kid in that film was particularly creepy though... holding that scalpel with that wicked little look on his face....

I thought the ending of The Mist was great. Deeply ****ed up and disturbing, but great.
