"Mr. Harrigan's Phone". Worth watching.

It's based on a Stephan King short story. It's quite well done. My only complaint is it's a bit long. I think since it was a short story, they dragged the first half out longer than needed. But overall a good commentary about our addiction to our phones. Not real scary, so it'd be okay for kids.

Streaming on Netflix.

1. I read a collection of his shorts under the title "Night Shift," and damn!

There were some awesome stories in that book! Three come to mind right away & it's been over 35 years since I read it.

Will definitely check out this movie!

2. Thanks for the review

I've been hemming and hawing about watching it.

I don't mind slow, sounds good.

I once took a course with Stephen King's first editor. He said King was very long winded and he desperately needed a good editor. When King became famous, his editors became more timid. I swear The Mist has like five endings all strung together. But, I still read him.

Might try again if you say it isn't scary

7. It's a little creepy and dark. But I wouldn't call it scary.

I enjoyed it.
