Skip it—this Stephen King adaptation is a slog that mistakes bleakness for depth, turning a genuinely creepy premise into a tedious trudge through grief that never earns its bleak ending. Unless you're a completist who must see every King adaptation, there are better horror films demanding your time tonight.
