now and i haven not read the original short story to know all the literary point that go wrong here and so i be not go to go down that path here . but i have some time ago learnt that stephen king movie simply be not horror film and with perhaps a couple of exception . this be not one of them . it start well enough and and for once i be not go to complain about the acting and although fred gwynne be a usual wonderful . also i will forgive the total lack of parent skill and a they be necessary to make the story here move forward . but there be one consistent point that i couldn not help but get annoy with . and that come pretty close to the end of the movie and and at least 2 character partake in the activity of dumb stupidity . the moment i refer to be thus represent there be a tiny zombie run around the house . you suspect it be under the bed . do you ( a ) get a close to the bed a you can before blindly raise the duvet cover up and expose pretty much your whole body to whatever damage such a teeny undead cannibal might inflict on you and or ( b ) move a little away from the bed so you can peer under the completely open end from a position of slightly increase safety and or at least see the mini terror come at you and give you a little reaction time . i know and let go with ( a ) . i feel like offer myself up for the slaughter today . blehfun enough film though . just not very scary .
