Query: Never read the Book.

I know that if I had read the book this movie would have been better to me. I have always been a big fan of Stepehen Kings movies but I thought the acting and characters were awefull in this film. From what Ive heard when talking to people that have read the book they say that the onscreen performances in this movie are nearly perfect. So while I didnt like the devil character he may very well have been doing a superb job. So if you read the book you should definately purchase this DVD becuase you will most likely love the adaptation. If you havent read the book this movie may come off very cheesy.
