I watched it all last weekend, yawning, strangely enough, or often waiting to hurry up and finish the damn thing. Stephen King highly recommended it, but it rips him and others off so thoroughly, that although it usually isn't downright boring, it certainly never thrills or sends a tingle down your spine with anything approaching cinematic ingenuity. Even the cinematography is dull. King also praised Wynona Ryder. What?? She spends the entire series squealing unsympathetically like a twiggy near-hag twit. The black kid, whose last name is McLaughlin (please give it back, kid), should never act again, and I found Matthew Modine's hair more disturbing than anything else in this silliness. Fun? If you don't like thrills, laughs, scares or surprises from your sci-fi horror, I guess. C-
