this one was pretty decent. has potential just hope they don’t demolish it the way they did under the dome and that second abomination they called an adaptation of the stand. It definitely isn’t. One of King’s best novels. showed his age a bit on this one. But it’s still a lot of fun. In the vein of firestarter. Should be a good time if MGM doesn’t ruin it.
Oh joy. Stranger Things meets The Midnight Club. NEXT
Looks really good. Yeah, I got X-men feel from it too.
If Mssr. Richings' character is there…
Those kids are in trouble.
Haven't read the book, but seems like a Firestarter Prequel.
Big, big….YAWN!! 🤣🤣🤣
OMG…I listened to the audio book. It WAS SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!! Humanity gets real dark when it comes to greed and power
Looks like a minor league Stranger Things, if I'm being honest.
the long walk will def be better than this, we dont need two stephen king movies in one year
given that stranger things started in 2016, this is one of king's least original works
Mi libro favorito.. yeee
She reminds me of my dumb Sister who stole my teaching credentials!
The book was amazing. I’m hoping for good things with this adaptation. 🤞

Reminds of a novel by someone other than Stephen king. Cant quite remb. Stephen was way better b4 he got sober. And definitely b4 he got ran over.
X men horror ? The boys horror.
It looks like they basically lifted the story of River Tam from the "Firefly" TV show.
Funny how you people don't think this kinda stuff is real.
No effing way!!!!!!!!!!
Is this supposed to be a prequel to Firestarter?
THIS LOOKS SO GOOD!
Worst of the worst!
Straight to Streaming, enough said👎
I won’t watch it just on the principle it came from that lunatic with TDS.
Whoever created the trailer should be fired. I won't be watching as I now know how it ends.
