It´s longer.

Oh, and the face makeup-effects is very well made and scary-looking as hell. Too bad it is only used in a couple of scenes.

it was silly - SK should stay away from any film/video adaptations of his work and leave it to the professionals

It's very much like the book...although I prefer the Kubrick version...probably worth seeing once or twice though.

it's more accurate as an adaptation of the book, but not as good as a movie.
The Stand was a far better mini-series (his best m-s, IMO)

The Stand mini series wins over anything just because it includes the line 'Don't screw with my disco'

I loved the first hour (episode) of the STAND but thought it fell apart later - weak acting and poor budget
