An average movie

I'm not a big fan of Stephen King and the story was pretty average so I can't say I really enjoyed it. Still, Max van Sydow is quite an amazing actor and completely steals the show with his perfomance. To conclude, I guess if you are big Stephen King fan, it may be worth a look but otherwise, you should pass on this one.

The devil in disguise comes to a quiet, peaceful town and opens a store called Needful Things. The store has an item for everyone in town. All the devil asks for in return is a few dirty pranks. Little do they know, that they've sold their souls, and the pranks escalate to murder...

Top 10: Stephen King - The Screen (39 movies items)

" I love Ed Harris and Bonnie Bedelia; this was her second foray into a King film (the first being Salem's Lot). King has something about a big nasty coming to small towns and wreaking havoc and trailing death. ;)"

"Katsottu: 29.7.2012 Tämä oli kyllä aivan törkeän turhaa ja ylipitkää Kingiä, jossa ei oikeastaan tapahdu mitään jännää. Max Von Sydow avaa tuppukylään kaupan, josta saa ihan mitä tahansa. Hups, mutta tavaralla onkin sitten kovempi hinta. Ilmeisesti Sydow on saatana tai joku paskademoni, mutta sekään ei oikeasti kiinnosta, koska elokuva on tehty niin kuolettavan tylsällä tavalla. Näyttelijät heittävät vammavaihteen päälle, eikä ohjaaja osaa kuin liikutella kameraa tylsÃ"

Top 10 Stephen King Horror Movies (and a Bonus Gui (11 movies items)

" It's not particularly scary, but Needful Things is a relentlessly entertaining look into the nature of evil, featuring a dark comedic streak. Where else are you going to see a priest and a minister throw down? Max von Sydow is brilliant as one of the best devils in cinematic history. "

"Idea on lähtökohdiltaan hyvä, näyttelytyö on ihan hyvää ja välillä on kohtuullisen hyvä tunnelma. Mutta ongelmia on liikaa, jotta tämä elokuva nousisi parhaimpien Stephen King -filmatisointien joukkoon. Käsikirjoitus tuntuu hieman kiireessä tehdyltä. Hahmoihin ei oikein panosteta ja tarina ei etene kovinkaan jouhevasti. Loppu on hieman töksähtävä."
