What a complete pile of utter crap. So predictable and hellish acting. What can you expect from a Stephen king adaptation. Seriously every Stephen King movie is so predictable. Boring boring boring.

I only watched it because I'd just read the book and wanted to see how the film told the story. Such a lot of the best bits of the story missing. and the ridiculous finale is not in the book at all. The acting is mostly incredibly clunky (read - lousy), even Damian. I think the only reason Mr Gray had the posh English accent is because Damian went to Eton, and could put it on. I could go on. But you've been warned.

I would never have thought I'd give any film with Morgan Freeman in it a bad review.It was almost as if all the actors were directed to act badly. Even a poor script can be saved by great actors but not in this case. Pommy accent to indicate the alien speaking? What the freaking hell?It felt like a 90's tele-movie. Those flashback scenes with the vomit inducing 'nice' virtuous, telepathic young boys: straight out of a Disney film. No kid ever did stuff like that, especially when they are in a group.And what the hell was the Duddits transformation about?Good special FX and CGI.

I've never read any of Stephen King's novels, but have seen a few movies based on them. They are generally satisfying, except Salem's Lot.As a huge fan of alien movies, I've seen ALIEN, PREDATOR, Dark Skies, Alien Abduction, The Fourth Kind, Extraterrestrial (2014), Body Snatcher, Independence Day... Movies about alien creatures are generally fascinating.Having seen so much about the genre, I'm not easy to please. But wow! The creature effects in this movie are so impressive. Those aliens look real and stunning! Once you've seen them, you'll never look at eels in the same way again. Beware when you fart or take a dump, or when your stomach makes weird sounds... alien bug could be inside your belly, and it could show you a more grotesque way to die than being chestbursted. The creature design is definitely disgusting and effective.It would have been better to give more backstory to the character of their alien friend who could see the future.The movie is slow here and there, and the story remains to be expanded. It feels like the pilot episode of a TV series. Nevertheless, the climactic battle is definitely worth a look.PS: The movie sends a good message to kids: Rescue the bullied. They might be aliens who can teach you tricks to see the future.
