By the end of the film, I couldn't have cared less if the town's entire population had been dragged down to Lucifer's fiery abode.

A fine adaptation of one of Stephen King's best novels, it almost manages to surpass the book solely on the strength of Von Sydow's glowering villainy.

Overlong, over-produced Stephen King byproduct. Forget it along with Firestarter, In the Mouth of Madness, Maximum Overdrive, and all the others.

Pop Needful Things into your player with no particular expectations and you might find it a worthwhile distraction.

Appropriately enough, the film climaxes with a series of huge explosions, each bigger and louder than the one before.

Max von Sydow has some good lines, but he delivers them in an utter vacuum.
