Review of Sometimes They Come Back (1991) by Andrew B — 08 Jul 2007
I am a big fan of Stephen King. I own most of his novels. I have read this short story, and honestly I like this movie.
The story is about Jim Norman, a man who witnessed his brother's murder by four teenage. The killers were hit by an oncoming train, when they tried to trap Jim and his brother in a tunnell on a train track, but one escaped before it hit.
Jim Norman takes up a job as a school teacher, having to move back to his hometown where the murder occured. Memories of his brother's death and what he didn't do to help this situation still linger. While he is teaching, one of his students dies, a new one transfers in from another school, and he looks a little familiar...
Sometimes They Come Back also tries to portray a moral message, you know the sort of thing like the way the past can come back to haunt you, don't brood over the past, don't try to change things & not to run away from a bad situation but to stand up & face them otherwise they'll never leave you alone, yep pretty much everything is here you would expect from a film dealing with horrible events from ones childhood.
Fantastic Stephen King movie - not 100% to the book, however still great.
