closest a movie has ever come to King's writing style (by Paradoxombie) |
I have not read this story but I definitely will now!!! This movie separates itself from other King movies by making a character out of the protagonist's mind. As he tries to comprehend the outrageous events that befall him, you understand how he feels and hear his ideas and thoughts which, in a normal book to movie, would be skipped over. The story itself is about a very detached young college student, with a fascination for death, who finds himself hitchhiking alone to see his mortally ill mother. Unfortunately, due to a recent suicide attempt death seems to take an interest in him.The <more> |
Excellent movie!!! (by twistedslitster) |
I just caught this flick on USA, and I am truly impressed with Stephen King getting back to his true horror roots. As a faithful King follower, I have seen and read everything the great man has put out. This is one of his better accomplishments and I definitely recommend it. David Arquette has always been one of my favorite actors and this movie allows his wicked evilness to shine through. As a nurse, I have a morbid fascination with death and the afterlife. This movie definitely points out what one choice can do to effect a lifetime of good vs bad. The effects are excellent, the tone is <more> |
This was a great movie. (by crows_dagger) |
I give this a ten because, first off if you read the story you'll understand a lot more. The movie reflects a boy who loves death and is obsessed with it. By the end of the story/movie he is over his obsession, he realizes his fears and gets over them. The truth is you can never tell when or how you will die, but it will haunt you. Death is only as scary as you make it, you will die one day. The story explains more of Alan's fear and understanding of death. Alan loves his mother and tries his best to reach her before she passes. Death is only a journey before eternity, you make your <more> |
People can be pretty snobbish, this is honestly quite good (by d_kittle) |
This movie keeps you interested. The young actor Jonathan Jackson is great to watch, very expressive. Barbara Hershey is also wonderful to see. There are moments of pathos that sometime are a bit over the top. As usual. Stephen King has a tendency to be overly nostalgic, but that is to be expected. Stephen King fans will not mind, it is standard. My family and I enjoyed this movie. We felt that it was well worth the time. I think that perhaps the previous posters were being too critical. The flashbacks were sometimes a bit confusing, but if you pay attention, it makes sense. Rent it, check it <more> |
Riding the Bullet (by Mister_Gordon_Shumway) |
I liked this Stephen King adaptation of his short story taken from 'Everything's Eventual', the author's most recent collection. Mick Garris 'The Stand', 'The Shining TV ' has not strayed too far from the path with this macabre tale of a hitchhiker who is offered rides from a handful of weird and wonderful characters one Halloween night.The year is 1969 and Alan Parker Jonathan Jackson learns that his mother Barbara Hershey is dying of cancer, so instead of going to see Lennon and McCartney, the troubled teenager is forced to hitchhike back to his <more> |
We all make choices! (by Zluvsfilm) |
I wouldn't call this film a horror, because for many that would bring up images of beasts and ghoulies. However, I also can't deny that this is a very dark film, but don't get me wrong, I am one of the few that loved this film. I agree with some that it could become slow in parts and to the action fans out there, this may not have been there cup of tea. However, for me these were wonderful moments full of intense emotion and elements that give this film layers and a complexity that had me gripped to the end. It was not the fleeing, running or escaping that had my heart in my <more> |
A Fun, Entertaining Mindjob (by Crannicus_Maximus) |
Not being a big King fan, I don't think I could've asked for more. I've seen IT, I've struggled through the long run of "The Stand", but it is this film which stands out more than any of the other adaptations of Stephen King's work.A chilling narrative of a man traveling across country in the 70s, Riding the Bullet succeeds where many other movies have failed by presenting a personal conflict, that is, one which exists within the main character's mind.I don't think I could've asked for a much better acting job from any of the cast, either.8/10. |
Well acted twist on the typical King formula (by Vampenguin) |
I've read plenty of mixed reviews on this one, and tonight I finally got around to watching it myself. Definitely a very strange movie, but certainly not in a bad way. Maybe it's just me, but Jonathan Jackson reminded me of a younger Johnny Depp, which is by no means an insult. This is the only film I've seen him in, but if this film is any indication of his other work, I must say he's a pretty fine actor. To be honest, the whole cast did a great job in my opinion. The plot was typical King fare, though it did have it's little tweaks to the formula which I enjoyed. Some <more> |
Underrated King Adaptation (by jonny-04689) |
I was quite impressed with this film. It obviously wasn't a big-budget or big-marketing film. On my TV, the guide rated this as one-star. But I liked the story, I'm a Stephen King nut, and I enjoy watching films that aren't very well known. Basically, I didn't expect much so I was pleasantly surprised to find a decent movie that had wonderful atmosphere, as well as a strong performance from David Arquette. The movie is a bit random, and yes, it is filled with some cheap, cliché' scares. Basically, this is an exciting horror film that also contains plenty of late 60's <more> |
