Why watch this? I was one of these kids, going on long adventures, playing in the woods, worrying my mom.

Dad's Preview: This is yet another film created from a Stephen King story (The Body). It follows four 12-year-old boys who venture to find the body of a boy who was killed along a remote stretch of railroad tracks. The strength of this film is simply the mannerisms and interactions between the boys. Each one is different, with unique skills and problems. Yet they stick together, as they get closer to their grim destination.
