I really don’t get the hate on this movie. It’s brilliant. Sure, the director (Stephen King) was coked up, and some of the acting is over-the-top (“we made you!”), but this is a brilliant premise with great execution. It’s totally 80s, but that’s a strength, not a weakness. It also has a killer soundtrack by AC/DC.
