"Meh"

TheGingerGirl455

"A good movie, but not as good as the original. If you like the movie freaks or similar ones you will like this one as well."

Kaitlyn Kendall

"It was decent but the original is much better. This definitely didn’t need the cat killing scene."

Jim Woehr

"I really wanted to like this but it turned out to be very underwhelming, disappointing and kinda boring. I will give props where pros are due which is the Carpenter score which was insanely good. Ryan Kiera Armstrong is going places that little lady is in everything. The film picked up in the 3rd act which is the best part of the entire film. Everything else in here is lukewarm. That might explain why I never heard of the original but from what I heard they didn’t change anything sadly."

"I really wanted to like this movie but unfortunately it was very disappointing and lacking in every department. I would give it a 5/10 at best only because I have seen much worse."

Chailey

"It was kinda boring movie, not my cup of tea, it was too slow. #Firestarter "

"It was missing something a connection. The parents made things complicated and because of that more complications happened. It just didn’t connect with me. Memorable movies you can connect and enjoy. This is one that eventually I will forgot. Nothing memorable. The Shining, The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile and It were more memorable. This is my honest opinion."

Norma Blanco

"wow did i love the carpenter score on this one. like other early stephen king books this one's a little light on Stuff Actually Happening. reminded me of 2011's Hanna during the finale; lots of minimalist corridors with catchy electronica."
