I received this very quickly and watched it the same day. It doesn't seem to have any high paid celebrities in it, a child is murdered in it, & it has some weirdness to it. It wouldn't be Stephen King if it weren't at least a little weird. I personally enjoyed "Desperation" very much. If you cannot get over seeing a child's murdered body in several scenes, I would not recommend this movie to you. This movie is a twist between science fiction and horror. Some parts you just want to shout, WTH! It does not have a very fast storyline and wouldn't be recommended to those who watch a ton of Action movies. This Stephen King movie is not as recognized as some like "Carrie", "Pet Semetary", or "Christine" but if you are that diehard Stephen King fan, you will be in for a treat with "Desperation".
I absolutely hated this movie. The book was incredible and awesome in every way...the movie was not. The acting was lame, the actors looked almost nothing like their characters from the book. The movie left out some of the most important information, so you really didn't know what was going on unless you had already read the book, and even then it was disappointing because of the lack of content. It was one of the worst adaptations of a Stephen King novel I have ever seen. If you have read the book and enjoyed it, please do not watch this movie - it will ruin it for you. It was that bad.
I read the book Desperation when it first came out in 1996 and, like all Stephen King books, loved it. I didn't even know that it had been made into a movie until I happened upon it on ebay. This was well made movie and closely followed the story line of the book. Another eerie chiller by the master put on the screen. My only disappointment may be that this film, unlike other King based movies, did not quite deliver the spine tingling results that the book did. All in all a good watch for anyone into the horror genre.
Love all his books and movies. Have quite a few of them already, will still collect more. Thank you. ♡♡♡♡
