Wasn't this a TV movie?

Yeah, it's a short story that he wrote.

And to the question posted above me, to my recollection, I don't think it was a TV movie.

Thought so.

Didn't like the movie, no.

Wasn't a TV movie, no; it had a very short theatrical run with a very limited distribution, then was sent directly to video.

Bit of trivia: directed by an amateur filmmaker who made a short film called Drag -- it impressed King so much that he offered the guy the chance to write and direct Night Flier.

PLUS...did you know Stephen King has a policy that if you're a student or amateur filmmaker he'll allow you to adapt any of his short stories -- not novels -- to film, all for the price of $1, so long as he keeps the rights? Kooky.
