| | 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 |

Writer/director Mike Figgis brings four interrelated stories to the screen–split into four segments that unfold simultaneously in real time. The volume is raised for the segment meant to draw the audiences' attention at that moment. This works in that it opens doors for future innovations and, once you have accustomed yourself to the four screens, the stories do entertain.
