I accidently came across this gem while searchimg for Stephen King movies. With a lot of reference to Stephen King and his book made it a hit to me. I would have given it a full 10 if Stephen King had actually been in it. All in all I recommend fans should check it out.

I would say it's especially important in horror, because there must be a lot of suspension of belief compared to some genres. I think true horror fans want their fave genre to be as respected as well-produced as others, and that means hiring actors who can act. I don't understand the idea of excusing bad acting or scripting or directing or production values because something is horror and not nordic noir! This was awful. I was lured in by the premise of King-esque deaths, which is a great idea.But disappointment ensued. How about, for example, (MILD SPOILER) the killer training a real wolf to sic on the black guy? That would have been inventive and made sense. Instead we get a run-of-the-mill slasher.I reserve a BIG yawn, too, for movies that purport to be parodies of cheesiness, while using the 'parody' excuse to exploit certain things, ie, half-naked women. Parody only works if it's actually funny. This suffered from a horrendously bad script. Honestly, I found precisely nothing to like about this film.
... View MoreSaw this at theater in Tokyo with friends. I'm a big Stephen King fan and liked all the references placed through the story. It was a good mix of horror film and comedy. There were multiple times I laughed out loud. The acting was really good. The scary scene in the woods was so scary I had to hide my eyes. I also liked the music. Reminded me of The Shinning, one of my favorite movies. There were so many times I was able to say what movie lines and story points were from different Stephen King movies, and even books. Made the movie even more fun.If you have the chance, see it. Very good film!
... View MoreI saw the premiere of this film at the Lewiston and Auburn film festival, out of all 80 movies this was the best. It had great quality, great actors, and kept me laughing throughout the film. Great for any Stephen King fan, or anyone just looking for a good laugh. I enjoyed the plot throughout the film, and at the end of it, I was wondering why this movie was not in a cinema or at least not on DVD. Not only is this a comedy film, but it was a pretty good horror film also. Towards the end of the film I was surprised to find out who the killer was. I am not quite the Stephan King fan, but I still understood what was going on throughout the film, but at the end of the day "You Can't Kill Stephen King"!! Soul Fist!
