DVD Reviews of Stephen King's Storm of the Century

DVD Review: Storm a-coming
Summary: 4 Stars

Storm/Century is a good King story, benefitting from having the time to actually tell the story. Both lead actors, especially Feore, are great, but the ending is a real bummer.

DVD Review: My favorite My Steven King
Summary: 5 Stars

This is by far my favorite Steven King story ever. I have no idea why. It is not scary by a long shot, it is a made-for-TV-movie, and is kinda long and uneventful. But for some reason I love it above the rest. I guess it's the way the story unfolds. the way it slowly comes to a crescendo even though when new people see it for the first time they have to blirt out the objective before the vilain gets to it (don't you hate that?) Anyway I like it but that's just me.

DVD Review: great movie
Summary: 5 Stars

this movie is great and scary it is a must have for stephen king's movies collectors storm of the century is at it best i rated it no.1

DVD Review: Good Stephen King movie
Summary: 4 Stars

Probably the only movie that captures what Stephen King puts his readers through when they read his stories. Relentless foreboding, good character development and horrifying imagery. Oh yeah, there is the bleak and grim storyline that you know will lead to an ambiguous ending. Its also typical Stephen King in that he gives you enough information about the bad guy so that you can fill in the blanks.

DVD Review: Cerebral Steven King
Summary: 5 Stars

Classic movie that get's better each time viewed. By far my favorite work by this master author.

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
