@davidisrad yeah sure, siri would have replied: calling Nina Oawon, I couldn't find a Nina Oawon in your Adress book. Or however siri replies :-) damn luckily not everyone uses a fallen Apple though.

Surprisingly good movie. The plot quickly took a turn I didn't really expect and Carla Gugino carried this movie to a higher level with her performance. [spoiler] the addition of the Moonlight Man was a bit too much for me though, It was a strong plot on itself without this piece of the storyline, it felt added to bring a bit more gore and horror to the story when truly it was thrilling enough.

@marinka678 The "Moonlight Man" was in the novel but called the "Space Cowboy" though it felt a bit rushed in the film.<br />

An overreaching yawner. While I appreciated the lofty goal of shining a light on the strength a woman can find in herself after being abused, and moving forward afterwards—it almost feels like that idea was put in the film to make you feel guilty for not liking it. And I didn’t like it. The way her visions with her dad and husband intertwined somehow with the weird face eating freak with acromegaly disorder felt disjointed and ridiculously implausible. Just because Steven King is super famous and popular doesn’t excuse the failed sense of the supernatural. He must have been trashed when he wrote it, or perhaps something far worse.

Well this one had me cuffed to my couch with It's deep, dark, creepy story plot also had me In a few giggles at times with Carla Gugino's character's actions. Over all It was a good film but did confuse me at times, played with my mind as much as her's, specially the ending, just didn't have the key to the cuffs.

a really solid adaptation! i think netflix should be in charge of adapting all of stephen king's works from here on out. this was a good, uncomfortable watch—since many of his books are uncomfortable reads, it's nice when a movie pulls it off as well as the author did. and i cackled when gerald referenced cujo. the acting in this movie was A+, carla and bruce had amazing chemistry and carla excelled in playing both parts of a mind psychologically tormenting itself and desperately trying to survive.

After reading the synopsis, I was expecting a minimalist film, akin to "Buried" (I've never watched "127 Hours", so I can't really compare to that one). But this was a rather trippy experience, by comparison. Carla Gugino may haven't carried the whole thing all by herself, but I think she did a great job, nonetheless, with some very convincing acting. Practical effects, though scarce, were very effective, as it was shown by the scene [spoiler]of her cutting her own wrist and thus escaping the handcuffs, which was very gut wrenching and a torture to watch (I mean it as a compliment)[/spoiler].
There was a nice twist and a satisfying ending. I've never read Stephen King's book, but I'd say the movie stands on its own merit.

Really really good! Not to be defined a masterpiece but it's surely a great movie. I can't talk regarding the adherence with the book, considering I read it more than 20 years ago (and I really don't think it matters, as long as the movie is good) but for sure I can say that they did an awesome job both on the scripting and, especially, with the choice of the characters. All great but Gugino is way over all the other in a really impressing way. Outstanding performance, chapeau!

Very different from what I thought it was gonna be, I'm pleasantly surprised.
[spoiler]That scene where she rips her hand out of the handcuff was the grossest shit I've seen in a while, I could barely watch it.[/spoiler]
