Editorial Reviews: Amazon.com After a government-spawned "superflu" wipes out more than 90 percent of the earth's population, the devastated survivors must decide whether to support or resist the advances of a mysterious stranger from way down South (heh-heh) who wishes to claim this new world order for himself. Although the six-hour length makes it nigh-impossible to digest in one sitting, this well-paced adaptation of Stephen King's apocalyptic magnum opus ranks among the best adaptations of the author's work, with strong performances from Gary Sinise, Miguel Ferrer, and especially Jamey Sheridan as a good-old-boy version of Old Scratch. The opening scene, set to the strains of Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper," is one of the most chilling things ever shot for television. Director Mick Garris is no stranger to King's world, having also helmed Sleepwalkers, the recent television remake of The Shining, and the upcoming Desperation. --Andrew Wright

Excellent product & quick delivery! January 8, 2009 Stephen King's The Stand I had been looking for this for a long time before I tried Amazon. I received the DVD quickly it was package sealed and the DVD is of excellent quality. Very satisfied! "mexican-soap-opera mood" January 5, 2009 I felt like watching a very long and boring brazilian or mexican soap opera, covered with intense moments of love and compassion, bad acting and no plot whatsoever. It's a genuine genre-salad. The good reviews are not telling the true. This piece of garbage tries to reach any audience at all times and just doesn't get anywere. Consider yourself warned. Stephen King at his greatest December 24, 2008 This is a superb mini series. I enjoyed watching it very much and am happy to add it to my cult classic collection. If you like a good suspense-filled thriller about the end of days that starts with a plauge and riddled with the conflict of evil vs. good--then this is the movie for you. It features the husband/wife team Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis along with Rob Lowe, Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwold, and many others. The Stand December 6, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful As I have stated before I never received the item I purchased. It was ordered on 11/3/08 my credit cards was billed 11/5/08 it was supposed to be delivered by 11/26/08 at the latest and it is 12/06/08 and I still have not received it. I am very very unhappy.
