    Ok, so they remade one of my favorite 80s action blowouts. I’m mad that everything gets recycled. But this looks like it might actually be all right. We’ll see.

    It’s not a Stephen King novel. It’s one of the short stories King published as Bachman to check whether he really was a great writer or if his name was the primary driver in book sales.

    I haven’t read the story since I was a teenager, but I think this is closer to the original story. The 80s flick was a short survival period during a gameshow. This was about surviving for 30 days. I believe that was the original plot.

    Can we please get some new stories from Hollywood? No? Ok, that sucks. Oh well.
