Rotten
Tied together with some humdrum animated sequences, three vignettes on offer obviously were produced on the absolute cheap, and are deficient in imagination and scare quotient.
Variety Staff, Variety

The episodes are marginally interesting, but each is a little too long. And each could be fully explained in a one-sentence synopsis.
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Rotten
Part of the problem is that King's short stories simply work better in print.
Richard Harrington, Washington Post
Rotten
Just as you can't judge a '50s comic book by its lurid cover, so you can't judge a cheapo, three-part film by its sources.
