While it is more true to Stephen King's original story this film proves that that isn't necessarily a good thing since our heroes are a bickering, unlikeable couple and the ending is a downer.

Very weird. There was a whole bizarre teen sex ceremony with all the little kids standing around hooting and hollering. It made me feel uncomfortable.
