Stand By Me is an adaptation of a Stephen King novella; it's not a horror story, but rather the story of four boys embarking on something of an adventure and what they find out about themselves. It's very well done and apparently SK puts it right up there as one of the best films of his works, if not the best.
   We watched it on Amazon Prime and enjoyed it. At no time did we feel anything was unrealistic or over the top, and the chemistry between the four boys is plain to see. Recommended.
