Desperation is one of King's more disturbing and claustrophobic novels, dealing with a small town in the middle of nowhere which is visited by an ancient evil.
Mike Garrs masterfully manages to transfer the story line onto the screen, keeping very close to the original. Of course, he had the help of a very professional cast with Ron Perlman as a perfect Collie Entrangian (he was just like I imagined him).
However, a word of warning is necessary: This movie is not for the faint of heart nor for people with arachnophobia.
