Hey there! Louis A. Habash here, your guy when it comes to film reviews. This time, however, I’ll be taking a break from talking about movies as I will be discussing an upcoming TV series from the mind of Stephen King, the master of horror.

The King strikes again.
Another novel written by master of horror Stephen King is adapted for TV. This time, it’s his 2009 science-fiction horror book Under the Dome. It is scheduled to air on CBS on June 24 as a mini-series.
The Simpsons jokes aside, Under the Dome is about a small town that was cut away from the rest of the world due to the appearance of an invisible force field. Crashed vehicles, destroyed properties, deaths—without the tiniest hint or warning, terrible things started to happen simultaneously, forcing the town’s residents to live a life of terror and confusion.

Under the Dome mainly targets audience’s fear of the unknown. The novel showed that uncertainties, while a basic part of life itself, can be frightening when brought to extreme conditions. The appearance of this impenetrable and potentially dangerous dome is a foreign and bizarre phenomenon that, if it occurred in the real world, will ignite feelings of distress and paranoia.
There’s also the fear of isolation. Being social beings, humans feel the need to connect with each other. When this becomes impossible, panic may begin to arise.
For now, viewers can only wait to see how this mini-series will address and portray these terrors. Perhaps they can grab the novel first while anticipating the pilot episode.
