Still on Stephen King with this miniseries/anthology that I came across at the thrift store. And oh, I can appreciate a bit of King but this compilation of stories from different collections was actually not that great. Because where the real Nachtmeries en droomlandschapen is quite nice with separate stories this is usually just crap.

Despite this, the whole thing starts off okay with the Hitman being attacked in his flat, something that is beautifully made but of course not scary for a moment. Up to that point not really a problem, but then it collapses very quickly with the second story where Claire Forlani is very nice but the story goes nowhere and the CGI is to cry about. The same with that guy from prison where it concerns a meager crime story but especially Samantha Mathis is the best reason to watch. And so it staggers and staggers further with stories that are downright ridiculously badly translated to the image such as the Rock and Roll town, or the writer with his intestinal problems or the private detective who are just not interesting at all. Just like the autopsy that is mainly blandly humorous and therefore anything but scary.

Anyway, it should be clear that this is far below par for me and I was very glad when the playing time was up. My advice is just don't even start.
