Genuinely creepy and unsettling (NO Spoilers)
Just watched the first 2 episodes. I was shocked at the quality, because almost every Stephen King adaptation I've seen (I think I've seen most) has been kind of hokey. Not all, but most. First, I'd like to point out that people who spoil shows in their reviews are jerks. Not necessary. Thanks a lot. Super-charming. Moving on... The cast, the musical score, the setting (we're not in New England anymore, Toto)... and of course the story itself--it is all impressive. I was so anxious and unsettled by this eerie telling that I feel like I slammed a couple of cafe grandes while watching it. The subtlety of the horror makes it almost solely cerebral. No nasty gore beyond what seems necessary to convey impact through the story. I also appreciate that there have been no pointless, gratuitous s** scenes. I hate that so much. Watching that garbage is tantamount to watching people use the restroom. They both largely happen in private for so many reasons! To each his own, though. It is very hard to find a good, scary mystery. They seem to have nailed it with this one. I may be speaking too soon... I hope not. Looking forward to finding out.
