Falls short of its source.Full Review

Entertainment Weekly

Writer-director Mick Garris has a real feeling for the horror master's melancholy worldview - love is loss - but he's too reverent toward the original story, the ending of which, both on the page and, now, on the screen, lands with an overly elegiac thud.Full Review

Chuck Wilson
L.A. Weekly

Imagine a feature-length version of the "Large Marge" sequence from "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" and you won't be too far off, only that was scarier.Full Review

Dallas Observer

The "Bullet" is an amusement-park roller coaster, and the title is a ham-fisted metaphor for facing your fears.Full Review

Maitland McDonagh
TV Guide

Both the anticipation factor and writer-director Mick Garris' slick adaptation fail to live up to the old hype.Full Review
