This reminds me of a story of mine from several years ago about a demon possessed baby grand piano that frightened, killed, or maimed people. The story itself is awesome, but the way the beast came about was what was forced. This story was ridiculous, a bit forced, but still totally awesome.

Apparently the first movie sucks as well, but that's to be expected with Stephen King adaptations as good ones are the exception rather than the rule. My roommate who was familiar with the story said that the movie had nothing to do with Stephen King's original tale save the title.
