@@flyingfox707b I didn't know this was uploaded illegally. Thanks for letting me know. I have Audible, so just kind of forgot some of these platforms were bootleg. Again, thanks.
Neither do I. What is with that crap! A.I can be used for instructional manuals, but it should NEVER be used as a reader of novels! Would to God the A in A.I. stood for ACTUAL Intelligence!
I saw some clips of the movie and can't imagine why someone would prefer it to the book. Cussack seeing an open grave or spoopy demons isn't as frightening as the way King describes Mark's descent into madness and losing control of his own thoughts.
The film is really good. Cusack and Jackson deliver on mood and creepy-fun weirdness. And Stephen King evidently loved the screen adaptation by Matt Greenberg. Which is not surprising, considering the huge check he cashed for the film rights. Because, while a passable short story, the material is a bit thin and needed a load of peaking and tweaking to work out to anything near a decent film; cinema is naturally more "show" than "tell", but the story here is almost all the latter, when it should achieve more of the former. Think of Conrad's best work for example, where a protagonist can go on with expository narration forever, yet the story is vivid, detailed, and alive. This is a laundry list of endless details, and nothing much else. An egotistical writer talking about being a writer who is egotistical. Must be nice, though. Hacking out a fast one, and coming up cherries across the board.
Ai sucks
One of my favorite King short stories. Mike's descent into madness is very subtle and chilling.
Ai garbage
I like the movie better
Why? Seems kind of like cheap scares
Says quite a bit for both then! 🙂
The film had a good start, but maybe 30min in, it turned into some low budget crap.
The book is much better than the movie. One’s imagination always creates the perfect personal image.
The movie can easily hold its own. It's not on the same calibre as Rita Hepworth and Shawshank Redemption and Green Mile, but still quite good!
Is this AI? Because there are some weird word emphasis choices throughout. I don't approve of AI doing actors' jobs.
It is free on UA-cam tho.. I’m sure you could buy a real version of this.
But you don't mind listening to a bootleg copy of a story? Lol and facepalm!

Oh well
Good storey, strange naration?

Love both; example of Mr King’s storytelling prowess and for once it was well brought to the screen x

Many of King's books don't translate well to film because the richest parts of his stories take place inside the characters' heads.
So slow ..

Uh yeah whatever. You're wrong. The short story is good.
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 Yeah, somebody sounds super-jealous.
It’s a short story. Quick and to the point! King is at his best in my opinion in short story form.
The short story is good but the movie is terrifying. It perfectly evokess the creeping terror.
Great story 🎉
