nightcrawlercyp-311-219346 Besides the fact that it cuts a lot from the movie and Audrey it also leaves a lot of hings unexplained or they get twisted. 1.A great part of the movie is about the little voice of God, meaning in each of us God speaks but to hear Him you must pay attention.The book also explains how most of those that died refused to listen to God. Also it does not explain the "God is cruel" phrase. The movie makes God seem bad or uncaring when in fact the suffering we pass through is a way to improve us. And this is explained in the book. 2. The nature of Tak and the statues is never explained. In fact he statues are idols and Tak acts like a death god. His language is called language of dead after all. Can tah- little gods; can tak- big gods. 3. What Tak wants is to escape the pt and continue to manipulate people into becoming more like beasts and killing each other 4. The chinese workers were not mistreated. The first workers were not chinese. When the first workers refused to go in the pit they brought the chinese.They were not treated bad just paid much less. I hate how the movie producers create anti white hate in this movie. 5.Tak's ability to control animals is not sufficiently represented. Buzzards fart indeed. 6. The puma does not make sense without Audrey. 7. And the whole : "Does not matter what Tak wants" is treated as blind faith. Rather it means that they have to stop him regardless of what he wants. A few pages before the book explains what Tak wants. 8. they live out the whole sex-murder halucinations Steven and Cynthia go through which are important. Also in the book Cynthia is much younger (very small breasts) and has the hair painted in two colors (green and blue or something similar)

shinsrevenge The first half of the movie can be described as interesting. Ron Perlman plays the role of a possessed cop, who has built his web like a spider on the town Desperation and the main road. He preys on travelers, catching them in his prison to use them as future hosts. Because the demon possessing him uses up the human bodies quickly.After catching quite a few people and killing some of them for... entertainment, I guess, he finds his mortal enemy in a boy. I forgot the name of the kid, but his message keeps ringing in my ears since he insists in repeating it for the rest of the movie in countless occasions. "Love god, trust him and endure whatever he wishes to bring upon you. Always do, whatever he asks without doubting anything." I'm not a religious man, but that isn't even what was annoying me. It was the hypocrisy. They spend time talking about the "free will", only to sum up that mankind is supposed to give up this free will and become nothing more than a puppet or slave to an omnipotent being. Which - even according to the movie - may or may not slay or save everyone at whim. Like a kid playing with toys and occasionally breaking some of them.Anyway, the fight between the demon and the humans isn't bad. It fulfills its purpose. The background story is kind of lazy though. They included some content with the former Chinese workers and the mine where the demon was accidentally freed some hundred or more years ago. And just when you might start getting curious about it one of them asks "What's the goal of the demon?" to which the boy answers "Does't matter. We only care about what god wants". They didn't even take the time to explain that. Like I said, lazy.Without these flaws it could have been a good movie, but as it is you might want to look for something better to spent your time on.

wryterzblock Desperation is my favorite Stephen King book. And this movie, if you want to call it that, is quite possibly the worst adaptation of a King work that I've ever seen. At first I wanted to blame it on the fact that it was a movie made for television. But that's not true; IT was also a TV movie, and it was spectacular. For having what was not a horrible gathering of acting talent at all, Desperation just seemed REALLY cheesy. Even Ron Perlman, who can ham it up like nobody's business and make it look awesome, made me cringe. Don't waste your time with this. And PLEASE do not judge the book by this movie. Desperation the book is a thrilling and moving piece of work. Desperation the movie is just a piece of...

accauditor The movie starts off promising, but the explanation for the supernatural occurrences is never really given. Once things finally pick up, out of nowhere 25 minutes from the end of the movie some story is given about miners and it is never really connected in the film to what has happened up to that point. I'm guessing the book hopefully does a better job of linking everything together. The dialogue for the last 40 minutes is just irritating. random character: "What's our plan?" boy: "We don't need a plan. God's will is our plan." writer: "I don't believe in god." boy: "That's okay, god gives you that choice."Those quotes pretty much sum up the dialogue for the last 40 minutes of the movie. Don't waste your time. As the movie nears the end you will be come extremely confused at what's going on, irritated with the annoying dialogue where suddenly every sentence is about (dis)belief in god, and wondering how any of it fits together.
