shipperxSo anyone else watch A&E's version of Stephen King's "Bag of Bones"?
Oh my, it was bad. I mean, wanktastically, SyFy Channel movie bad... only with a couple of decent actors such as Pierce Brosnan immersed in the cheese giving a decent serious performance in an awesomely bad movie. For pure cheese, not to be missed are the creepy old bad guy, his Mrs. Travers-like housekeeper, and the constantly screaming precocious child.
There also seemed to be a fair degree of overlap with King's "Duma Key" in general concept (though they are different). In BoB, PB is a writer in mourning for his late wife who is haunted by a malevolent (?) watery ghost and seriously weird dreams foretelling the endangerment of his psuedo-daughter. In "Duma Key", the main character is a contractor turned artist who is in mourning for his divorce who is haunted by a malevolent watery ghost who has weird dreams foretelling the endangerment of his daughter. Yeah, there are a lot of differences, but it still boils down to that.
