Apt Pupil

The story was awesome but do not waste your money on the movie, even though it was with Ian McKillan it stank, they did an awful job with it.

Absolutely loved the movie! I need to read the book. The book, as is the usual case, must be much better.

I really enjoyed the book, thought that it was good read and the movie was pretty good too.

Very true. Great story; lousy movie. As an aside, the band "Anthrax" has a song which is about Apt Pupil.

The story was awesom but the movie was so disappointing.

Cant remember exactly what happened at the end of apt pupil all i can remember *SPOILER ALERT* is that the old man overdoses on sleeping pills and spends eternity with the nightmares. Can anyone fill in the blanks? Thanks.

The boy loses it and shoots his guidance counseler and heads to the highway with the rifle. It takes 5 hours to take him down.

Loved the story, unfortunately the movie fell way short.

I loved this movie! I sat down to watch it not knowing it was written by King. ( I thought I had read ALL of his works.. silly me) My husband had recorded it on the Dvr because he thought it was excellent and wanted to watch it again together. So, now I have got to get my hands on that book. I am compiling a list of must have books that I have missed and the list is growing daily. I have been a King fan forever and thought I hadn't missed much......oh how wrong. But it is going to be so much fun to remedy that!
