Author | Review | ||
---|---|---|---|
United States | The New York Times | "It's King done right." | POS |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "The film goes along quite well, with the usual grabs and gotchas no less effective for being so familiar, as long as no one is talking." | NEU |
United States | Entertainment Weekly | "Serviceably scarifying" | POS |
United States | New York Post | "If there's one thing I love in a movie, it's a sadistic sheriff. I also love wild dogs, feral cats and hungry vultures, and this movie has them all." | POS |
United States | TV Guide | "As often happens in this genre, the more you learn about the lurking evil... the less scary it gets." | NEG |
United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "The real surprise is that, for all the times King has taken us down this creepy path, he can still evoke chills and thrills over and over again." | POS |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "[King] expends way too much energy and dialogue on a shallow, sentimental exploration of faith." | NEU |
United States | Boston Globe | "The more the script pushes its stock questions of faith, the more cerebral the movie becomes. And cerebral isn't a good thing when you're talking about horror." | NEG |
