Yesterday I was visiting my brother-in-law and we decided to rent this DVD to watch with a group of friends, based on the name of Stephen King highlighted on the cover of the DVD. The story is about a morbid young man, who tries to suicide on the day of his birthday just because his girlfriend had broken with him. When he leaves the hospital, he is informed that his mother had a stroke, and he hitchhikes with weird persons during the night in lonely roads trying to visit her. One of the drivers is death, who asks him to choose who should die: himself or his mother. In this moment, he realizes how important is to live, and changes his attitude and behavior regarding life. Maybe Stephen King's book is good, I have never read it, but this adaptation is a crap. We were a group of nine friends, five slept in the middle of the film. My vote is four.
