"Best-selling novelist Mike Noonan and his wife, Jo, are unable to conceive children; Mike conceals that he has a low sperm count. Jo is killed by a bus while crossing a street. As she dies in his arms, Mike notices she bought a pregnancy test, and assumes that she may have been having an affair. Overcome by grief from her death, Mike develops a case of writer's block. He suffers a series of nightmares about his wife and their summer home on Dark Score Lake in Maine. On advice from his brother, Sid, Mike takes a trip to the summer house."
Pierce Brosnan did a great job as the main protagonist but with poor direction and editing the quality of this film is greatly lowered. Most of the movie the director tried to scare us more than trying to tell a good enough story that will scare us. Sadly I was looking forward to this movie since it was an adaption of one of Stephen King's books. The supporting cast could have done better as well since a lot of their acting was a little corny. Overall this film could have been better in the right hands.
1/5
