Gerald's Game - based on the Stephen King novel. I thought the movie adaptation was pretty good with Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood.
Have not read this...curious to check-out recommend of this. Sweet.
On a related note ( albeit wrong thread)...
Just finished watching,
Castlerock ;Hulu Series 1 - enamoured ( but am an old fan, so beyond biased).
...got around to experience first 2 episodes of
Mr. Mercedes - thoroughly epic, so far!
Major, King-adaptation-binge atm - me gusta.

The Lost Boys
the opening scene with the 80s music and overhead shots of the boardwalk with all the lights had me hopeful. the scene where the family first rolls into town is well styled too. but overall the movie is random and silly. and the girl is not appealing. i can see why there?s a cult following; i?m not part of it.
Sacrilege!
It's the 80's '... silly', is a requisite of the temporal context. 'Random...', however, it was not; if you investigate the context upon which the ideas, concepts and archetypes where based (and drawn from) - not too hi-brow (Sam donned a Mondrianesque robe though, tbf );was pop-film but given the actual context - it certainly was not 'random'.
Thought, Jamie Gertz', in her role as,
Star was very beautiful but agree that as love-interest, was stilted but most female secondaries att were just that, in pop-movies. Characters were not developed; it was more like a graphic-novel type scenario, as befitting the 80's pop-audience. Bums on seats and all that.
