    Amazing
    This movie is a faithful adaptation of the short story Mr. Harrigan´s Phone by Stephen King. I read the book If It Bleeds and I love it. The story is wonderful and amazing. Craig is the best character of the world. I like both Craig and Mr. Harrigan. This story is about friendship, loyalty and death. I think that it is not a horror movie, in fact although it has dark overtones, it is actually a tender story. The paranormal elements didn't scare me, it was a pretty light movie. The end was very nice and I think it was the perfect closure for this plot, I really liked the decision that Craig made and what he chose to do with his life.

    Poor movie adaptation
    Right from the start your realise this is a novel poorly adapted for the screen. Imagery that works through writing is painfully drawn out on the screen, drawing out for too long, just sort of dawdling in pointless metaphoric exercise.

    This movie sets up a premise and then doesn't take it anywhere. The protagonist is fleshed out fully, and boy does that take the whole movie! And there's some banal moralising about mobile phones and technology, without really getting to the crux of the narrative. Just really poor storytelling.

    I give it three stars: one for having been made, two for some lovely scenography, and three for having cast Donald Sutherland.
