Connor Oct 11, 2026 One of my favorite Stephen King adaptations! See more

Teddy B @RT90521672 1 day ago Sucks out a lot of the novel's essential dreariness in favour of muddled performances, so-so cinematography, cheap special effects, and ineffectively campy moments sprinkled way too generously throughout that remove any sense of threat or weight. I haven't seen grief portrayed so flacidly, so much like an inconvenient emotion on the emotionless actors than with this movie. See more

Alex B @AlexBioni Oct 20, 2026 Sometimes Dead Is Better I first watched this while getting into Stephen King in middle school, and the creepy baby giggling terrified me. Now, as an adult with a two year old, it scares me for different reasons. The fear of losing a child and what you'd do to get them back is deeply unsettling. I like the buildup of the family moving to a new home and the marriage problems that come with it. Louis's descent into grief feels believable and never rushed. You understand how desperation pushes him toward choices he might never have made otherwise. Victor is great as a ghost trying to warn Louis. The dark tone is excellent, and the cemetery feels like a character of its own. The subtle gore and wild makeup near the end are memorable. Rachel's sister is genuinely creepy, though I wish that storyline had more depth. Some acting and direction feel like an early 90s TV movie, but this is still an excellent adaptation of King's novel.

Justin T @RT71013773 Oct 17, 2026 A laugh-riot. Five star black comedy. They just weren't trying to make that. See more

Moody C @MoodyC Oct 10, 2026 I prefer remake. Makeup for dead spirits look worst than those actors from Halloween haunted houses. Really took me out of it. Acting so bad & hammy that it’s unintentionally funny. Pacing is so slow that nothing significant happens until after about an hour. Only saving grace is that old neighbor dude who is more authentic here. Really, only one major difference btw 2 movies which is instead of girl turning first in remake, it’s boy toddler which while true to novel, it’s really silly looking & reminds me of Chucky from Child’s Play horror movies. Perhaps if that franchise does not exist maybe it wud work but only a big maybe. Girl works better in my book. See more
