This Stephen King Film Based on a Little-Known Short Story is One of His Best Movies
The history of film adaptations based on Stephen King’s works is well-known for its inconsistency, with both outstanding successes and disappointing failures, especially when it comes to his short stories. Initially, these began as segments in anthology films such as “Creepshow,” later evolving into full-length movies adapted from King’s short stories like “Children of the Corn,” “Maximum Overdrive,” “Graveyard Shift,” and numerous others. While some narratives translated well into a 90-minute horror experience, others struggled during the adaptation process.
