One of Stephen King's lesser books is given uninspired treatment. Apart from an engaging performance by Danny Pintauro as the young son, there's not much reason to sit through the long, boring set-up before the dog goes mad.

ANTI

Dull, uneventful.

(Variety)

Not much of a basis for a horror film, and this is not much of a horror film.

(Halliwell's Film Guide, 2004)
