Apt Pupil (1998)

This way one of the few times I enjoyed the movie more than the book. It was just creepy/disturbing enough to hold my interest without me needing to leave the room, do a little dance and try again.

Apt Pupil (1998)

One of those King adaptations most folks probably don't even realize was King because there were no plagues or rape spiders. Poor Brad Renfro, he was good in this in a way we won't get to see again. The first times I saw Ian McKellen, I knew that young buck had something.
