Maybe there is something that I am missing in watching this, but the fact that this is rated as a top film noir is beyond me. Joan Bennett is great in it and I love the shoot out scene but that's it. It's too sanitary, needs to be grittier.

Hooptober 5.0 - Film #2

A perfect movie, and it pains me that I only saw it for the first time last year.
The ending always makes me think. Am I supposed to go with the obvious answer of what happened, or embrace the Twilight Zone and choose the alternate. Personally I go with the Twilight Zone type interpretation, it just seems the most real.
Trying to keep this vague to avoid giving anything away.

Task #17 - Watch a movie based on one of Steven King's works-------------------------------------------------------------
All these years I've thought this was one of the BAD Stephen King adaptations so I've avoided it. But it's GOOD!
Now I've never read the book so I can't say how it faithful it is, but the movie is good. Carpenter does his thing well, the score is perfect, the acting is a little wooden in parts but it doesn't really detract from the overall experience.
