still waiting for good adaptation
Nothing wrong with '79 son.
>>223585777Not OP but I didn't really find it particularly good. Having a few interesting and memorable scenes does not make a movie great on its own.I wouldn't even say it's really good as far as movies based on King's books go. The Night Flier is a much better vampire one.
>>223585831The Night Flier could make an absolutely kino movie. Hopefully they would change the ending to make it more interesting.
>>223585831I guess you had to be there. It was originally a tv miniseries and got recut and released in theaters. Maybe I'm biased because I love Tobe Hooper.
>>223585888>The Night Flier could make an absolutely kino movieWhat do you mean "could"? They made one and I liked it.>>223585891Yeah it might be it, I definitely watched it quite late in life. I get what made it popular, the floaty vampire scene really is fantastic and in broad strokes the plot is pretty cool, just didn't really live up to the hype I had built up.I watched the remake too. Very ridiculous movie, kinda like most horrors nowadays - a few good ideas but overall a goofy mess.
>>223585888>>223585947Just took a random screenshot from the youtube upload of the movie. Love it when movies have color. Wish we could go back to that en masse.
boomers piss and shit themselves in terror from this scene
>>223586026I miss Miguel Ferrer.
>>223585678no needthis type of horror is only scary when you read it and imagine the whole thing in your head, watching it on a screen is mid at best
>>223586042>mooooom there's a floating boy gooning outside my windooow
>>223586042
>>223585678Only if it includes the based subplot about the slutty high school girl who walks around without a bra flaunting her pokies all over town. All the male characters perv over her and the deformed weirdo who runs the town dump gets her as his hot vampire bride as a reward for willingly submitting to Barlow.
>>223585888Pitch an ending?
>>223586042iconic scene
>>223586063He was great as Lloyd in The Stand too.
>>223586547>slutty high school girl who walks around without a bra flaunting her pokies all over townWhy almost all King's stuff have some pedo shit in them
>>223585831The miniseries was kino, the only thing that they fumbled was making the main vampire guy into a generic Nosferatu vampire rather than being more faithful to the book. And I am a zoomer, so you can't claim it's just boomer senility that makes me think so.
>>2235865472004 has it, and is underrated in general.
>>223586063I think this at least once a week.
>>223588722I like that change personally, Barlow and Straker feel kind of redundant in the book
>>223585678The 79 and rob lowe one are genuinely spooky and fun
>>223588128Dimes character desu
