Better off than watching this.

I love Stephen King but this one was horrible. Would rather pluck my eye brows out than watch it again.

I purchased this product thinking it was both movies on one DVD but when it arrived in the mail it was only "Sometimes They Come Back." I reordered the item thinking it was a mistake with shipping and received the same item again. This was the first time I've ever been through something like this with a Amazon purchase and I'm very DISAPPOINTED!

Sometimes they come back
Added 5/9/2007
I bought the movie and it claims that there are two movies included. Sometimes they come back and Sometimes they come back again. When I received the movie it was only the movie Sometimes they come back. So don't be disappointed when you think you are getting 2 and only get 1.
***I wanted to let you all know that Amazon made good on the mistake and reimbursed me half of the price. I did not expect or want the refund I just wanted people to know that it was only 1 movie.
The first movie was the only good one anyway. Thanks again Amazon!

Sometimes They Should Leave Well Enough Alone
Added 12/26/2005
I suppose there is no harm in ordering this two-movie set, since it seems to be the same price as the first movie alone, but it might be better not to bother, as the second movie kind of spoils the tighter plot line of the first. If I could I would give the first movie 4 stars (5 if you love the genre) and the second one star (zero if you like Stephen King).
The first movie is based on a King short story in the compilation "Night Shift." It is a nicely done tale in the vein of the revenge drama, where those who have a grudge against someone return to wear down and destroy their antagonist. In that sense, "Sometimes They Come Back" has a dramatic core familiar from "Kiss of Death" or "Cape Fear," both movies where a resentful and psychotic gangster returns to destroy the person who they blame for their imprisonment. In "Sometimes" three kids who harassed the protagonist as a child and killed his brother return from the dead to avenge themselves for their own deaths, which occurred accidentally in the old incident.
The movie interprets the King story quite nicely. The changes made to the last third of the short story don't take too much away from the original ending, and in some ways add to it.
But "Sometimes They Come Back Again" comes from the "we made money from the first, let's see if we can squeeze out a few extra nickels" school of film writing. The story tries to borrow the same three characters (or ones that look like them) with a different plot line. It brings in Satanism, a boring mysterious priest, a little satanic cheesecake, and a plot that might have made a 30-minute TV show. At the end it uses part of the ending of the original King story out of context, where it should have been left well enough alone. The most frightening part of the movie is where they leave room open at the end for another sequel. I shuddered.
My teenaged daughter, who likes both horror stories and Stephen King, turned it off midway through. "Don't you even want to see how it turns out?" I asked. "No." Enough said.

There's no one like The KIng(Stephen King)
Added 6/5/2009
I was so happy to see this movie for sale on Amazon, and even happier to see that it was available on DVD. Anything from Stephen King is worth watching or reading. I've been taught well by my mother and have enjoyed his work since I was a little kid. This movie is full of suspense and puts the character in situations that we fear most. Still a classic to me!!
