On the rare occasion that Stephen King books do work as movies they tend to really, really work (Stand By Me, The Mist, Shawshank Redemption etc.) and Riding the Bullet is thankfully among these elite. It feels a bit like an extended episode of the Twilight Zone: you are never quite sure what is real, and the whole film has a generally quirky feel. It has been superbly directed and edited, the casting and acting is spot on which is even more astounding considering this is an independent movie.
Riding the Bullet is based on the story of the same name which Stephen King first released at the turn of the century as an ebook only and was only available for free for the first few days as a pioneering publicity stunt; I was one of the lucky ones to download it before the servers got clogged! It was a really good story and has since also been released in the short story collection Everything's Eventual. The screenplay remains true to the story so both King fans and Horror fans will be happy with this one.

i enjoyed this little film. it has all the ingredients of a king story and was better presented than some screen efforts of his stories/books. as i say, i liked it. i'm no critic, i can't comment on the acting, the lighting or any technical stuff. if you have read the tale and like this genre, then buy it! it isn't a fortune and it pleasently passes 90 minutes of your life!

If you like Stephen King adaptions then you should enjoy this film as a 4 star or even 5 star film. If not its still at least a 3 star film in terms of ideas and story. It's good as a kind of wierd cross between Stand By Me and Creepshow. Is the lead character losing his mind? Ultimately it does not matter as the viewer is here for the warped tale , and as I've said already if you like Stephen king then you'll like this tale and appreciate its themes.

I just love reading the reviews on Amazon as they (appear) to be by ordinary folk like me, and aren't arty (well sometimes maybe they are). Read more

Sooooo dull, it's unbelievable
One of the dullest movie based on a story by King.
I really couldn't wait for the end of the movie.
Didn't read the story so I can't make a comparison. Read more

THE BEST 'KING' MOVIE SINCE THE LAST ONE!
Received opinion is that most film adaptations of Stephen King's stories are cinematic tosh, fodder for the popcorn munchers. Read more
