This was the first SK book I read, about 20 years ago! I've been looking forward to the movie for months.

We've even set up a (boak) "date night" to watch it together. DH hasn't read the book...and I may need a "that didn't happen in the book!" outlet...hope you don't mind!

Come back and tell us what it’s like. I couldn’t finish the book, it got frizbeed across the room with a scream. I’m interested in the film though.

I'm watching tonight. Been well over 20 years since I read it so no chance of remembering specific details only the general jist and the Dolores Claiborne link. Let you know what I think.

MozzchopsThirty · 29/09/2017 23:21

Is it out at the cinema?
Or on Netflix?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 29/09/2017 23:25

how are you watching it?

Opheliasgoldenwine · 29/09/2017 23:31

It's on Netflix Smile

OhYouBadBadKitten · 30/09/2017 00:00

awesome! That's Sunday sorted!

Haggisfish · 30/09/2017 00:00

Aaaaaaaaarrrrggggggh! I couldn't!!! Book was bloody brilliant though.

Ozzde · 30/09/2017 00:05

Ok, I enjoyed it. Was home alone tonight so did find parts quite creepy. The one bit I did remember from the book I had to watch with my hands over my face cringing. Last ten minutes I wasn't particularly fussed on but don't want to say anything about it as I'm aware people haven't seen it.

I am glad I haven't read the book lately as otherwise it would have been another IT experience where I couldn't help noticing what they'd changed or left out.

Just finishing it now, Oh gosh that hand part not wanting to give spoilers but that's not leaving my head anytime soon.

Babyiwantabump · 30/09/2017 00:53

So I went and fell a-bloody-sleep in the middle of it, didn't I?

Feel free to post spoilers-I'll be watching the rest while DH does the food shopping.

Well I didn't really understand it but the acting was brilliant. It's creepy in places but not really scary.

YoureAnArseholeDenise · 30/09/2017 23:18

Bloody brilliant!

cushioncovers · 01/10/2017 11:59

I have questions but they will have spoilers in them.

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 01/10/2017 12:14

Can we post spoilers now? MYbe if you do that "SPOILER* then press return a few times before you post" thing?

Think I will leave it a day and then ask😄

chickensaresafehere · 01/10/2017 13:07

Watched it last night (alone!!).
Geralds Game is one of the few SK novels that I haven't read.
I enjoyed it.Recognised 'Lurch' from the 'Addams Family' straight away! Lol!!

thenightsky · 01/10/2017 15:28

Watching it now. Read the book decades ago so cannot remember much of the detail.

kittydetective · 01/10/2017 19:38

Just watched this .. fucking confused

MissyCupCake · 01/10/2017 19:43

I enjoyed it, one of my favourite SK books. I think having read the book helps to understand the film.
