Despite its tv movie origins, this is still one of the best Stephen King adaptations ever made. One of the best vampire movies, too. Less reliant on blood and gore (as befits tv standards at the time), the film relies on a chilling atmosphere, which let's be honest, is what a horror film should do. As a kid, this film gave me recurring nightmares - thanks to the Mr Barlow prison cell scene - and despite my resilience to horror films since, the film still has the power to unnerve me.
