IMDb
(DVD, Anchor Bay)
George Romero scripted from Stephen King's short stories, but their combined talents don't really come through in the final product. The anthology of comic book style stories includes a wooden Indian that comes to life seeking revenge, dope smoking teenagers who swim to a raft in the middle of a lake only to become victims of a man-eating oil slick, and a woman who can't shake her hit and run victim. All are heavy-handed and obvious, much like the comic books that inspired them, so perhaps it was intentional, but they do not transition to the screen very well.
