Rating: 
Based on a short story by horror writer Stephen King entitled ‘The Body’, Stand By Me, is something of a departure from his usual fare, though some of the themes of friendship resonate in novels such as IT and Salem’s Lot. The soundtrack is a lively evocation of American popular music in the 1950s, featuring the likes of Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis and Ben E. King performing that classic title track. Running at a meagre twenty five minutes, the length is disappointing, as is the lack of liner notes and extras though the songs are so good that this seems less of an issue.
