	Media	Author	Review
		Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"King wants to scare your pants off while also removing your moral blinders, and he succeeds."
		Baltimore Sun	"It's Stephen King as spellbinder, gathering us around the prime-time campfire -- enthralling, dazzling and scaring our pants off before sending us to bed afraid to turn off the lights."
		Caryn James The New York Times	"As chilling and gripping as any Stephen King film since Stanley Kubrick's classic movie of 'The Shining,'"
		Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times	"Diverting but stretched-out...While entertaining at times, Storm of the Century, too, rises barely midway up the horror scale. If you’re looking for a major fright, in other words, look elsewhere."
		Houston Chronicle	"Stephen King's mission in life is to scare us all to death. And he does a pretty good job of it, too, this week on ABC"
		New York Post	"King should write for TV more often."
		Variety	"A morality play disguised as horror, this three-part miniseries should win over a few remaining Stephen King holdouts while reinforcing the devotion of legions of fans."
		Tim Goodman SFGATE	"If you're not one of King's rabid fans who will forgive him anything, you'll have a similar thought: "Gee, that was pretty good. Could have done it in two hours, but I'll live."
		Keith Phipps AV Club	"'Storm Of The Century' has an interesting story to tell and takes a long time to tell it. Too long, really, at more than four hours, but for those up to the task, there's enough going on to recommend it."
