tonight's feature: Riding the Bullet (2004) on Prime
Riding the Bullet is a haphazard and awkward little movie adaptation of Stephen King's 2002 horror novella of the same name. You get the feeling while watching that they're trying to recreate some other, more successful King films but got tripped up making it set in 1969. Groovy soundtrack, except the casting is kind of weak and the intense scenes are still duller than an old butter knife. The story has its moments but it doesn't connect the dots on screen like it probably does in the text. Not terrible, not really scary, just a kind of bummer. Is 'soft horror' a thing? 6 roller coaster commemorative buttons out of 10.
