As I recall I liked the book, but it's been a long, long time and I've no idea how much of this has been altered. This doesn't work very well as many King filmizations don't .I haven't read anything of his in recent years, but I used to be a devoted follower, so I don't know if his writing has changed in anyway, but most of the things I've read are full of bizarre imagery that play well on the page and in our imagination, but on the screen many scenes are just nonsensical as his works need his narrative to fill in the blanks, something the films versions usually cannot do. This film has that problem, but it also has the problem with a cast of mediocre actors, though Fred Gwynn seems to be having fun chewing up the scenery and Brad Greenquist is pretty creepy as Victor Pascow. Everyone knows that this is about bringing the dead back to life. Sort of. It has a few creepy moments, especially the final scene.
