I could've sworn I saw one by DVD Savant a few days ago, but it's nowhere to be found.
Perhaps I was seeing things...?
EDIT: Here it is. It's not in the regular search engine, oddly enough.
I'll email the editor to see what's up...

But that's not all! It's a 2-Disc Special Edition!
SOLD!

DVD Talk Special Edition
obviously this isn't a review but I watched it last night and unfortunately, as much as I wanted to like this movie, I was pretty disappointed...can't pinpoint why, exactly...anyone else have this reaction?
I love horror and a lot of sci-fi. I love Frank Darabont's movies. I love Thomas Ian Jane. I love King's work.
Just couldn't buy the premise, couldn't connect to the characters and man, that ending...wow...talk about depression. Solid C+ for effort?

For effort? A goddamn A+.
Darabont put a lot into making this flick on the quick and for low $. I think he did a phenomenal job and this is one of the finest horror films I've seen in YEARS. And I'm a rabid horror fan.

an A+ ?? I dont think it deserve that much for effort.. the movie was ok not what I excpected and the ending wasnt the same as in the book. It became too predictible. I mean it could have been so much better being that it was Stephen King. It could have had an alternate ending as well. I wasnt fond of the ending at all.

However, the special effects and premise redeem the movie, which would make me want to buy the DVD.
I give it a 3 out of a possible 5 on the effects and premise alone.

I liked it...
I watched the B&W version and then did some of the extras (which have some color scenes in it) and I have to say I am glad I watched the B&W first. It does have a totally different impact.
As far as the ending goes, I liked it. There was a lot of setup before it and the execution of it was perfect.

I agree that the ending was a big downer.. it had all of us watching why the change in ending. Watching it in b/w would of course have a different affect overing in viewing . The special affects deserve praise!
