DVD Reviews of Stephen King's Storm of the Century

DVD Review: Where Is The Blu Ray?
Summary: 5 Stars

Storm of The Century is an original teleplay and a first rate chiller. Where is the Blu Ray of this and other Stephen King's made for television films?

Remasters of picture and sound with special features are requested.

DVD Review: good movie
Summary: 5 Stars

this is one of the best movies that stephen king did. i just love reading his books and watching his movies.

DVD Review: Creepy Great Fun
Summary: 5 Stars

This one is a two-parter (made for TV), so break out the popcorn, and get ready for a great ride. Who is the strange man that comes to town, and tells the townsfolk that if they give him what he wants... he'll leave.
No spoilers here; however, this is a typical Seven King movie where no one is safe... even the main characters. It also takes place on a small island on the East Coast, where the (snow) storm of the century is about to occur. I know this is lite on details; however, if you're a SK fan, I think you'll enjoy the journey.

DVD Review: A couple problems with this movie
Summary: 4 Stars

The first problem I had with this movie was,,, Of all those church folks not one of them knew my Lord well enough to simply say, "Satan, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ."

Accepting that there was not a single real Christian in the bunch I also know that Satan is an eternal being and the thought of him needing to train a replacement is stupid.

Other than that it was a great movie.
The final scene so far from the island when he sees his son turn and give him that look was priceless.

Stupid and illogical but this is a movie,,, priceless.

Description of Stephen King's Storm of the Century

The terrifying tale of a town beseiged by evil. The inhabitants of a picturesque sleepy little town on a small island off the coast of main find themselves completely cut off from the rest of the world when they are hit by the worst storm of the century. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 03/22/2005 Starring: Tim Daly Colm Feore Run time: 248 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Craig R. Baxley

"Give me what I want and I'll go away," demands the black-eyed, stocking-capped stranger Linoge (Colm Feore), who appears in a quiet island community on the verge of the worst storm in decades and brutally bludgeons an old lady to death. Tim Daly, the town sheriff and voice of reason and moral strength, locks up the quiet madman, but the deaths pile up as Linoge acts them out from his cell like a murderous mime pulling psychic strings. Stephen King, whose original teleplay is his best work for the screen since The Stand, transforms the sleepy burg into a Peyton Place of guilty secrets and criminal activity ripped from under a blanket of small town normality while the white-out of the snowstorm completely cuts them off from civilization. Director Craig?R. Baxley nicely maintains an icy tension while the waiting game goes on, perhaps a little too long, before Linoge finally reveals "what he wants" and the drama turns into a struggle for man's soul in miniature. The more ambitious special effects and set pieces sometimes disappoint but are more than made up for in King's knack for turning the mundane into the macabre (the children's song "I'm a Little Teapot" has never sounded more sinister) and a few brilliantly realized sequences, the best of which occurs when townspeople are literally yanked out of existence while watching the storm. Storm of the Century is one of the most successful translations of King's brand of horror to the screen. --Sean Axmaker
