AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Michael Ledo The story takes place on Little Tall Island...off the coast of Maine to no surprise to King fans. A stranger named Andre Linoge (Colm Feore) comes to the island needing a dentist, but instead kills old Martha Clarendon (Rita Tuckett) and watches her TV as two fronts come together as they are in for a "storm of the century." The stranger ends up in Constable Mike Anderson's (Tim Daly) jail...but strange things begin to happen and the stranger knows all of the island's dirty little secrets and is willing to share them with the whole town. He wants something to leave....This is rather a long film. As far as Stephen King and religious themes, I liked "1408" better. King did work a cameo as a lawyer on a flyer as he sometimes does. The phrase, "Give me what I want and I will go away" was eerily repeated, something King copied from himself (The Shining). Also King's other novel/character "Dolores Claiborne" is mentioned in this film, which took place in the same location.The film is actually a short story made long by King to develop character...everyone's character. As far as entertainment about a film with a stranger, the plebeian in me likes "Traveler" with the fat Val Kilmer better.

Misslvoice One of the best TV-shows of all time. Yes i know..but that is the way i feel about this one.... it has all the parts needed to build up the right amount of suspense. I just love the atmosphere.... On an island, the weather and so on... Great acting and great story line.. You don't want to miss out on this one..!!

LeDentalPlaque I was skeptical of this film when I first set my eyes on watching it with my boyfriend. It seemed long and drawn-out, and I didn't have much interest in watching a horror film for hours on end. When the first episode started, you were introduced to every-day life in the town and a murder that happened. But as the episode progressed, more and more mysteries popped up and into the second episode, a mysterious being emerged and made itself present to the town folk to demand something of them.This suspense was maintained throughout the second episode and into the third one, where there was a climactic ending. Overall, I'm glad I did watch it because it was enjoyable and suspenseful to the end. It didn't seem as long as it did, and well worth the watch if you're into mystery and horror. Good acting and highly entertaining.

GL84 When a serious and damaging storm signals the arrival of a mysterious stranger on a small island off the coast of Maine, his rampage of terror across the inhabitants forces them to make a horrifying decision when they learn his true intentions for arriving.This one turned out to be quite decent and pretty enjoyable. The setting is great, as the snow-fallen town looks suitably chilling and provides a wonderful blanket for the events to follow, generates some nice suspense and generally works well. The development of his plan and why he's there are both chilling, with the first half being devoted to his arrival and incarceration, the second a demonstration of his power and the third being his whole plan creating a very nice ark that culminates in some good stuff through each offering. With a lot more deaths on hand, the second is generally more entertaining than the others as there's some pretty nasty deaths on hand as we get to see him assert his power over the town in the middle of the storm so there's plenty of good times throughout this part, though again most of the segments do have a great scene throughout. It does have a couple of rather big flaws, though, mainly in the fact that it takes forever for the secret of what he wants to come out, and when it does, it feels a little underwhelming since a lot of time has been spent on it being this big secret yet it's entirely underwhelming. As well, a lot of stuff here seems padded out due to it's mini-series origin with a lot of scenes that really don't need to be there at all or could've been shortened to keep this moving along at a little swifter pace. All in all, not one of his better efforts in the field but certainly worthwhile enough.Rated Unrated/PG-13: Violence, Language and children-in-jeopardy.
