be a rather cheap copy of lars von trier original i find this mini series annoying after the first few minute . while for stephen king this may be rather good and i find it just a disgrace when you compare it to the original . within minute i find myself confront with all the clichés i hate about cheap tv horror exaggerate character ( sometimes combine with weird appearance to make sure everyone realize something be wrong ) and exaggerated camera perspective and puzzlingly stupid dialog ( just to remind you something be wrong here ) and of course the typical horror soundtrack . it appear like this be just one of those typical american remake that only serve to target a broad audience and less demand and less daring and streamlined and average . not for me .
