[Yet] another classic tale told by the Master! It offers the same 'Delicious' fright that I and others appreciated with 'The Hitch Hiker' series-some time back? The Flashback vs. the After Math is always a fun folly. When I do reach that 'Perfect Place' [maybe Clearwater] I will bump it up to 3 foot lockers for Mr.&Mrs. King with works by son Owen and never overlook the family structure EVER[Miles]

Riding the Bullet is one of my favorite stories. I could read it a million times over. There's so much symbolism and writing this work really took a lot of creativity. For someone who is quite the opposite of an avid reader, I found it strange that I could not put this down, much less any other work by Stephen King. The film is great, and portrays Alan's thoughts very well, however, I still prefer the short story...it had me more frightened than the movie did!

It's an entertaining movie. Not in the same league as The Shining, Misery, The Green Mile, Shawshank Redenption... but it's worth the watch, very faithful to the written story, except for some details and some expanded situations. It's available on DVD, buy it, it's worth the price (I wish it had some nice extras, though)

One of the movies I have seen in a long time. Their should be more like this today, because the excitement keeps you on the edge of your seat. The chemistry of elements combine in this story and the actors playing the part in telling this story is right on the money. Keep in touch with your viewers opinion about your work.
