The Stephen King Collection, a box set of four films, Graveyard Shift, The Dead Zone, Silver Bullet, and Pet Sematary, is great in that it provides viewers with a full range of King movies, from the truly eerie to the terrible. The set's two finest movies, The Dead Zone, directed by David Cronenberg and starring Christopher Walken, and Pet Sematary--arguably King's finest story adapted to film--both come as Special Collector's Editions, with excellent bonus material, including lengthy interviews with both Stephen King and the directors. Pet Sematary, shot in King's home territory, Maine, tells the story of city slickers Rachel and Louis Creed (Denise Crosby, Dale Midkiff), who move to the country to raise their daughter, Ellen, in peace. They learn that they've relocated onto a trucking thoroughfare, and Ellen consequently loses her pet cat. The plot quickly riffs out into mystical, traumatic territory. Louis's neighbor Jud Crandall takes Louis to ancient Indian burial grounds, where the dead are reanimated. The Creeds's zombie cat sparks this Frankenstein-ian adventure, pitting urban settings against rural, and the horrific against the pastoral. Pet Sematary looks more and more like Hitchcock, thanks to director Mary Lambert's careful attention to detail. The low point in the set is Graveyard Shift, a washed-up story about a cotton factory that's not only infested by carnivorous rats, but also hosts a dragon/pterodactyl. As night-shift employees get continuously munched, Bachman Mills' owner Mr. Warwick is forced to clean up squalid conditions, for which he hires a basement clean-up crew. Crew members are slaughtered as they try to combat their discovered behemoth, and grizzly scenes showing rats, humans, and the beast's head being chewed up in the cotton gin reduce Graveyard Shift to schlock gore. One is reminded of the intricacies involved in adapting books to film. As King has managed to be an integral part of his film projects, there are still successes and failures. All the movies in this set, though, still bear King's trademark, a love for "supernatural deadfall." --Trinie Dalton

The master of horror at his best in a box set. It doesn't come any better - these are some of his classics. So put on the popcorn and put the kids to bed - kick back and have a great time!
 GRAVEYARD SHIFT-BRAD DOURIF WAS GREAT AS THE EXTERMINATOR! May 18, 2009

If you enjoy Brad Dourif's work, GRAVEYARD SHIFT is for you. I really enjoyed him as the exterminator in this film. He has a certain over-the-top knack for performance that makes him an indespensible character actor in any role that must be played with intensity.
He has made many important screen appearances in the X-Files, Alien 4, "Exorcist III" as the Gemini Killer (1990), and Gríma Wormtongue in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy (and many others). His unique acting style made all these films special for me.

Everything I've ever ordered from Amazon, or from anyone selling through Amazon has been top notch service and product. This goes from the first up to the present.

Pet Sematary and Dead Zone are good, but the others are lousy. Really lousy. Silver Bullet is just stupid.
