Based on the award-winning bestselling novel by Stephen King, Bag of Bones is an unforgettable psychological thriller. Two-time Golden Globe Award nominee Pierce Brosnan (Die Another Day) stars as Mike Noonan, a novelist who suffers from writer's block after the death of his wife, Jo (Annabeth Gish, Pretty Little Liars). A dream inspires him to return to the couple's lakeside retreat hoping to find answers about his wife's sudden death- but he is plagued by ever-escalating nightmares and mysterious ghostly visitations from Sara Tidwell (Anika Noni Rose, Dreamgirls), a blues singer whose spirit lingers in the house. As the inhabitants of Dark Score Lake haunt him, Mike comes to realize that his late wife still has something to tell him. Jason Priestly (Beverly Hills, 90210), Melissa George (30 Days Of Night) and William Schallert, (True Blood) also star in this haunting thriller. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

Miserable. Garris’s direction is at best average. The screenplay lacks the best bits in the book and overall it doesn’t make sense. The first half basically says nothing, has no momentum and events just happen. No suspense, no expectations. The casting didn’t work. I like Brosnan, but he isn’t right for this and it’s not that he can’t cast off the Bond jacket. On the contrary, his Noonan is bland and there’s nothing worse than a bland main protagonist. The exaggerated dramatization of some scenes is almost comical. Surprisingly, the only decently made parts are the flashbacks, which seemed to me to be the weaker parts of the book. Oh, and the way they rammed in modern technology almost everywhere got on my nerves. An iPad playing an old black and white video... product placement or an attempt to be hip?

"Bag of Bones" is one of my favorite Stephen King novels, and while reading it, I thought to myself, what a jerk King is, because I would love to write something like that myself. I actually had a similar feeling only with "The Dark Tower". I liked the film adaptation, Pierce was a great choice. I had the feeling again, as if I was reading the novel. Considering it is a television series, it is not surprisingly boring during the scary moments. It is stretched out, yes, but not unbearably so.
