5/10
doesn't hold interest
27 March 2023
Yawn. This flick is a movie made for teens. That in itself isn't enough to keep me from liking a movie but this one doesn't keep my interest. It's based on a Stephen King story about a boy who befriends a millionaire who hires the boy to read to him. When the millionaire dies the boy, Craig, slips his cell into the coffin at the last minute when he goes to the funeral. As a wistful kind of way to communicate with the dead man Craig leaves him a call and lo and behold he later finds a text from Mr. Harrigan! At first he's convinced the man is buried alive but finally he comes to understand that that is not the case. What starts to happen is that if you are an enemy of Craig's Mr. Harrigan takes care of you, in a deadly kind of way. This movie leaves a lot to be desired. I wonder if the target audience likes it.
