A fine adaptation of one of Stephen King's best novels, it almost manages to surpass the book solely on the strength of Von Sydow's glowering villainy.

Appropriately enough, the film climaxes with a series of huge explosions, each bigger and louder than the one before.

I needed to get out of this thing long before the insipid finale.

Overlong, over-produced Stephen King byproduct. Forget it along with Firestarter, In the Mouth of Madness, Maximum Overdrive, and all the others.

By the end of the film, I couldn't have cared less if the town's entire population had been dragged down to Lucifer's fiery abode.

Max von Sydow has some good lines, but he delivers them in an utter vacuum.
