          What’s more, King denounces this film for its butchering of his story. There’s a great Rifftrax of this movie.

            TBH, King isn’t exactly the opinion to behold on film adaptations, he hated the shining and the stuff he directed has been said to be dogshit.

            Although lawnmowerman is a fucking dumpster fire.

              Cocaine abuse’ll do that. Regardless, the movie is brilliantly bad. Not to mention this wasn’t enough to stop Brosnan’s becoming James Bond in that character’s first post Cold-War role, Goldeneye.

                  No problem. To be fair, that disaster on film didn’t stop lead Jeff Fahey either. Mostly turned him toward more B-films like Darkman III: Die Darkman Die and Planet Terror.
