Campy. The kind of thing you wouldn’t make occasion to, but would keep watching if it happened to be on.

A nice enough story, used by the filmmakers to bludgeon the viewer with sentiment.

Somewhat funny, somewhat insightful. Good landscape shots, understated.

Charming.

Colorful, innocuous.

Performed and visualized well enough, but the science fiction elements are so implausible that it makes me wonder why the book was so lauded. They seem like simply contrived crutches for the writer.

Cheap and cheesy Asylum awfulness.
