Fairly weird supernatural tale, starring a very young Drew Barrymore. She was a very talented kid, but she’s working with an underdeveloped script here, with characters that are never fully explored and motives that are not always entirely clear.
No Bonus Features included.

Another wonderful adaptation from a Stephen King story. this one features a very young Drew Barrymore and also a youngish Heather Locklear as her Mom. Its very well paced and you really care about the characters as well. Has a great story and lots of interesting characters, which is what Mr King is well known for.
