Too sickly for me I'm afraid. From reading the other comments I sense that many of the other users had read the book and obviously loved the story. I don't enjoy this type of film whenever it's set but to set it at Christmas time with a beautiful, angelic dying mother was just too much.
I'll be avoiding this one in the future.

Desperately tries to cash-in on the success of 'Signs' but fails somewhat. Very similar in feel and setting to 'Signs' including the aliens running around the roof and being generally creepy in the corn.
A few interesting moments and Billy Zane is always compelling but otherwise very obvious made for TV movie.

I approached this film with extreme trepidation since it stars the hideously awful Richard Thomas. Sadly, my instincts were correct - it is truly the poorest Stephen King adaptation I've ever seen. I LOVED the book and it could have made a fine film but sadly that will never be the case now.
The only redeeming features in the entire shambolic mess were the kid actors and Tim Curry (who never seems to mess up in anything he's in).
I could write pages and pages about why it is such a bad movie but I'm not going to waste my time. If you want to see a well made Stephen King adaptation check out 'The Stand' or 'Misery' - avoid 'IT' like the plague!!
