This film just leaped to the top of my must see list. I was curious as to how they would flesh the Stephen King short story out (30 pages at most) and it looks like they made some good decisions regarding the backstory.

Ooooh, looks nifty and I love John Cusack.

That does look pretty cool. I'm skeptical of anything that gets "fleshed out" because I think horror comes in NOT knowing. I hardly remember the short story so I'll have to reread it. I liked pretty much everything in Everything's Eventual. My favorite is probably the title story. All That You Love Will Be Carried Away is exceptional but I doubt it is filmable. Autopsy Room Four seems like the inspiration for Room 6 by the trailers (though I haven't seen it).


I recently saw Riding the Bullet, and I thought it was pretty decent. It had that creepy, nostalgic feel to it.

I didn't remember the story until I viewed the trailer....one of the creepy ones! Looks good....as in a "goose bumps a raisin' " kind of way.
