Mary Lambert effectively conveys the novel's reflections on mortality and the destruction of the nuclear family. This film is aesthetically muted and weighed down by an atmosphere of perpetual gloom. King trims his complicated, emotional work into a lean, suspenseful script. Yes, some of the performances are weak and there are a few clunky lines. Nevertheless, it's damn close to being a masterpiece.
