Stephen King based short feature (it's 45 minutes long and technically a feature film) is the last of the dollar baby films where king would allow filmmakers to use his short stories for only a dollar.
The plot of the film has a young woman meeting a man who gives her everything she wants, before she knows she wants or needs it. Of course they fall in love...and since this is a Stephen King tale you know this isn't happy.
Put together as if it was an after school special from the 1970's the film is a nifty little tale of love gone wrong. It's a film that perfectly matches the 1970's time frame when it was written. It feels of the time.
The problem with the film is that at 45 minutes the film feel a bit padded. While the run time would match an episode of an old anthology series, as a film unto itself it feel a tad long. Several scenes feel as if they could have been trimmed. It's not fatal, however it diminishes the suspense because it gives us too much time to think about what we are seeing.
I like the film a great deal, I don't love it.
