I'm on a Stephen King kick right now.
I've seen Maximum Overdrive, Sleepwalkers, and Sometimes They Come Back, and I'm trying to find Needful Things, and when I have time I'm going to watch the TV miniseries The Stand.
Maximum Overdrive was not bad. Except for Yeardley Smith, who was annoying every single time she spoke.
Sleepwalkers cracked me up. It features incest and evil-detecting cats that set one of the titular Sleepwalkers on fire. By scratching her a lot. Also HILARIOUSLY a cop is impaled by corn on the cob (and dies). I guess Stephen King really didn't give a damn about how reality works here. Oh yeah, and the Sleepwalkers could turn themselves and people/things around them invisible at will, or even transform them (though only temporarily). CUZ THAT MAKES SENSE.
Sometimes They Come Back was not what I was hoping for. I was hoping a bunch of dead people would come back, but instead it was just three asshole murdering teenagers. Also, there was some epic stupid. Examples: A cop thinks the main character (a high school teacher) killed three high school students... even though one of the murders took place while he was holding the main character at the police station overnight. Yeeeeah. Also, the main character tells his wife to lock all the doors and windows repeatedly. Why is she not already doing that? Did murders just not occur in the 80s when this film was made? Finally, the dead teenagers did not have reflections and were sometimes invisible. WTF? They're not vampires!
