Reply #2: It was very derivative, not surprising for Steven King.

Which was why I wasn't ever going to pay money to see it, although I am a big fan of Andre Braugher and Marcia Gay Harden. The best and only redeeming part of the movie was the ending and I figured it was going to end that way, anyway, instead of just pulling a "The Birds." The scene with the giant walking creature was may favorite part.

Not all that impressed with it. There were episodes of the "The X-Files" more original and compelling. And, obviously, it owes a lot to "The Fog," although it reminded me of "The Birds," more, or "The Manitou."

I just thought I heard the soldier say something about "opening a door," and was wondering what he said.
