Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King (2006)
Battleground - very good, Crouch End - OK
Overall, Battleground was very good . When I heard they were doing this story, I was very skeptical and thought it would be very cheesy. Props to William Hurt for conveying so much emotion in this facial features/expressions without using any words. No words and just music actually made the episode more suspenseful and dramatic. I give it a 9/10. Crouch End was just OK. The short story written in Nightmares and Dreamscapes was much better. It allowed the reader to visualize Crouch End and the other dimension and frankly, my visualizations of this foreign place were much better than what was portrayed in the episode. Also, the policemen interviewing Doris were main characters in the original written story but not here. I don't think it was adapted to screen very well. That actress that played Doris was hot though, wasn't she? I give it a 7/10.
