Francesca S Watching this series takes all of your concentration and effort to follow a nonsense plot, with fantasy flashbacks and surreal situations you don't know how to position in the story line. Dropped mid second episode, very disappointed as I normally love Stephen King and Julianne Moore. I thought this was the perfect combo, but it was just confusing and frustrating. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review Jim D Awful recycling bin of Stephen Kings own tropes: The lone heroine, a story told in flashbacks, a signature villain with signature weapon. Spoiler alert! DeHaan's character uses a pizza cutter as a torture weapon (presumably because they sell uncut pizzas in Maine). Add the fact that SK is so anti-gun, that he has his heroine intentionally opts for a shovel instead of a firearm for protection. Help from a dead guardian angel, miracle curing water, and finally a drawing of three to unite against the villain. It's a rehash of bits from the Shining, Pet Sematary, the Stand, and so many others. I loved King's early work- but this is all too familiar, but kind of like a knock off of others. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Montgomery M Really interesting and pretty. The plot is great. The problem is the pacing could be quite boring and slow. Good acting and some great moments though. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/17/23 Full Review Dakota D I normally love Stephen King, but lately he is losing his touch - at least on film. I did not read this book, but the tv show was ridiculous and laborious to watch. I literally was bored....the cast was a wonderful cast NORMALLY...none better, but were wasted in this boring go no where and makes no sense story of stereotypical tropes on ignorance, poverty, familial violence and inbreeding that appears a lot in King's stories. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/23/23 Full Review Michael C Marvelous!! Very impressed with this adaptation. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/20/22 Full Review Audience Member Lisey's Story is one of my favorite books from one of my favorite authors and this adaptation is maybe even better than the novel. It's a beautiful, haunting and very disturbing love story, with terrific writing (by the master himself), acting, directing, with fantastic music and stunning cinematography. It's a slow burn but well worth watching every minute of it. Highly recommended. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
