Unfortunately Pierce finds nothing new to explore within King's story and gives you no reason to give it much thought. Besides the formidable performances from Chloë Grace Moretz in the title role and Julianne Moore as her batshit crazy mother, the only other thing that held my interest was how were they going to set-up the iconic prom scene. It pleases with ruthless carnage and horror that probably had Mister King himself squealing with glee. As a stand alone film it's all right, as yet another adaptation it's feels pretty pointless.
