Comments:
Suffers from the screen curse of Stephen King! But in the scale of things, its far from the worst King adaptation.
Drew Barrymore is a Barrymore, Lionel mostly (with a flash of
John).
This is a rare chance to see Martin Sheen at his most brilliant. George C.
Scott in a ponytail rather bizarrely resembles George Washington. Moses
Gunn
and David Keith are vividly keyed to the main attraction.
Which is an Old Testament prophetess calling down fire to blast her
enemies
with.
One of the most amazing and delicious pictures to be found.
