| | Anonymous 03/07/2007 | I just loved it my sister and I couldn't keep away from the TV. I think Stephen King rocks but his moovies give me the creepy crawly. Ugh! And I never thought the mind reader would die. I would have wished for the guy who gets his fingers cut of to die. He was just too creepy. But I loved the last part when the gosts hum "A Summer Place."
Roses mean Reamember! =D |

People in town assumed that he could not hear nor speak, so would confide in him when they needed to talk. Then along comes Archibald (James Earl Jones), the junkman, who learns the truth. Not bad.
