Review

Spending 90 minutes with the young, wide-eyed Corey Haim is almost as enjoyable as immersing yourself in Stephen King’s familiar, atmospheric take on small-town America in the 1970s and 1980s, both of which are on offer in this little spooky film. The only so-so prosthetic effects may not exactly scare the bejesus out of modern-day viewers, but instead, you’ll find yourself invested in the story thanks to agreeable pacing and King’s knack for writing believable, appealing characters. And despite an undeniable predictability and an arguably underwhelming ending, the film vehemently refuses not to take itself seriously.
