Underrated as hell

Whyyyy? does this have 5 stars?

I know it's not as well known as most of his other works but man is it a good one. It's probably one of the only Stephen King movies that I've found truly emotionally engaging. Like the anger you feel towards those teenage ghosts at trying to get back at the teacher, and I actually get a little teary every time at the end when the little brother is asking his big brother to go to heaven with him.
Call it what you want, but I think it is so underrated, under-apprecriated, and should have some of the recognition that his other stuff does, but I guess that's kind of what makes it even more beautiful to me, the fact that is is REALLY good, and it is a hidden gem.

A 'five' probably because there is not any sex, nudity, homosexual situations or eye balls dangling out of the socket. I gave it an eight.

Lol. But yes it does deserve a higher rating. It's a good movie.

It's a fun movie. Very 80s feeling.

The gang of bullies were good characters

very 80s, even the score. And by the way, the big brother is asking the little one to go to heaven with him.

I agree, this movie is great and doesn’t get talked about nearly enough.

I agree.

This movie was cool as hell.

It's a really good flick I still watch. I don't think it ever broke out of its made for tv beginnings to ever be taken seriously.
