Let's see, never read the book so that puts me in the "hate the miniseries love the Nicholson version" group. That's usually the way it goes it seems.

It was nothing special. I have tried to read the book, but I saw the movie first and I kinda got bored with the book (but I love Stephen King, when I finish Pet Sematary, I just start back at the beginning and read it again)

On second thought, the movie was pretty creepy. The twins especially did it for me. But I dont like really quiet horror movies like this. And the wife looks just like my neighboor. Weird.

I really liked the book, it was much more hardcore than either movie.

i thought the movie was ok but also quite boring. when my friend told me about it i thought i have to see this film but when i did i was a bit disapointed. there should of been a bit more violence but it still made me jump at least once. the only really goodn bit is the "here's jhonny" his face looked disturbing:D .

i thought the book was better than the film but not by much. I am a great believer in books being better than films but this film came pretty darn close.
