Very cheesy movie from the Stephen King book but very thorough as far as adapting a 24 hour book into a movie. I believe it was a TV special when it came out. I’ve always loved this movie.

    Something I’ve learned with Stephen King: If you remember it as a TV special, it probably was. I swear, he just had a thing for them, for a time.

    I thought Tommyknockers was decent. Definitely above the second attempt at The Stand, but below the first run. Definitely above Langoliers.

      I thought this was the Langoliers at first. (I’m not much of a King expert) Glad it’s not, though we’ve had it here before and it was popular. Thanks for the share, KingJalopy

      I’m still looking for langoliers, I know I have it saved somewhere. I promised I would contribute and I intend to start with Stephen King lol

        Langoliers is the kind of movie that’s better enjoyed by watching it while stoned or drunk with friends
