Best of the King Adaptations for T.V
I absolutley love this television miniseries. This is easily the best of all the television adaptations made out of King's work. As a horror film fan as well I also believe this to be the best horror 'film' of the early '90's. The early '90's saw a severe dry spell in terms of horror cinema, particularly in north America, but Mick Garris was able to construct a story that both terrified and moved audiences. The opening of the miniseries is without a doubt one of the most terrifying openings to a film ever. <

>One would think that Garris would have been severly restrained by having to make such a terrifying novel into a made for TV project. Garris is able to scare without relying on gore, although he does not back away from showing many scary images that deserve alot of respect for balancing image with the power of King's original story. <
> <
>The film differs from the novel, obviously it must due to the fact the miniseries was to air on television and be reduced to six hours from a novel that was over 1200 pgs. 'The Stand' is easily my favourite King novel ever; I think King tapped into a deep dark need for anyone who lived the last half of the 20th century preparing for the end of the world to see how the end would of the world would might occur. King and Garris deliver in this terrifying plague/isolation epic. Everyone who loves King or horror films MUST see this one.

Close to the book
For most part this movie is close to the heart of the book. Stephen King had a vision, we read and now you can watch a good representation of this when you buy the movie. <

One of the best tv movies ever made
I loved the book, and I liked the movie. It could have been much better <
>though. The tv miniseries seemed to be hurried, and could have spent much <
>more time on each distinct part of the book.
