Could have been...

...a lot better than it ended up.

I've never read the Stephen King story so can't judge on the adaptation.

Until they get captured it's not a bad film but afterwards it just fizzles out the final revenge section is marred by it's length and the mixed quality of the effects, Maybe a tighter script and direction would have pulled this up a level.

The brightest thing in the film is Drew Barrymore - 9 years old and out acting the rest of the cast.

Forgettable is the word I'll choose for this.
