But the true star of this movie is stereotypes we can't believe were acceptable only twenty years ago.Īlso in this episode: Rob self-medicates, and Dan dreams of mattresses smaller than a minifridge. After a deadly plague kills most of the worlds population, the remaining survivors split into two groups - one led by a benevolent elder and the other by a. Instead, we're parsing through all six hours of the miniseries that aired in 1994 and stars Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwald, Rob Lowe, and Bill Fagerbakke (the voice of Patrick Star on Nickelodeon's SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS). We will not be discussing that, as we are forbidden from doing so. (4 episodes, 1994) Series Film Editing by Patrick McMahon. (4 episodes, 1994) Series Cinematography by Edward J. (comments anyone?) 6 out of 10 for this one.Most Stephen King fans agree that his post-apocalyptic epic novel THE STAND is his magnum opus.

Another one was the shooting from a window by Julie Laurie when Tom and Nick left her alone. The first one: a meeting between Abagail and Randall Flagg not far from the beginning, where the blood came gushing out of their hands. There were also pieces I could not remember from the book. On the other hand - if anyone had to be neglected - King could have left out the Joe-character as he did not add much to the movie. (only one reviewer noticed it so far!)

Over-all I found 'The Stand' an acceptable TV-production.
