My Opinion:

This sci-fi horror thriller from the master of horror, Stephen King, is interesting, but disappointing by the end. Everything is there at the start to make a good movie - strange happpenings, suspense and a toilet monster - but it all falls apart when the reason behind the weird goings on is displayed in close up in the middle of your TV screen. This totally ruins the suspense of the film which was it's key appeal. The DVD has a few extras, but nothing of really great interest.
