Cert. 15 Length: 180 mins. Available on: Warner Home Video, PEV12198 Price: £10.99 Director: Tommy Lee Wallace Starring: Harry Anderson, Dennis Christopher, Tim Curry, Richard Thomas With: Olivia Hussey, Richard Masur, Annette O'Toole, John Ritter Plot: Stephen King's novel about a monster in a small American town who comes to steal the inhabitants every thirty years.
 For a Stephen King miniseries this is one of the best. There
have been many tries at his books and most of them have been
cursed to fail dismally. This, however, has a superb first
half with excellent child actors which makes up considerably
for John-Boy Walton's presence in the rest of it! Lots of
scares and a really nasty clown from Tim Curry put this very
much in a the "must see" category. The book is better but only
slightly so. If this had been truly accurate to the book the
American censors would definitely not have allowed any more
gore or the quasi-gangbanging scene which unites the friends
against the monster... so be grateful for what we have!Dr Blood's rating: 8/10  |
