Gerald's Game (2017)

A good movie

“I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from this flick but it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I'm glad didn't know much about it before watching the damned thing and it ended up being one of the best Stephen King adaptations I have seen in years. I mean, sure, the concept was not really original but it was so well done and it turned out to be so much more intense than I expected. Usually, I really have a hard time to care about King's stories when there is too much paranormal stuff involved and I'm so glad he went for a psychological thriller this time around which was just so much more effective. I was wondering how they would fill up the running time but the choice to focus on a childhood trauma was a strong idea and you could easily imagine that any” read more

"Film başta çok klişe gibi başladı fakat sonradan değişik bir hal aldı. Freud tarzı psikanaliz yaptı resmen. Psikolojik açıdan baktığında kadının başından geçenler gayet anlamlı aslında ama sıktı bir süre sonra. Gerek yoktu o kadar geçmişi irdelemeye. Yinede güzel sayılırdı. S.King hikayeleri çok sarmıyor beni kişisel olarak."

TDcore's Horror Journal 2018: Pt. 2 (50 movies items)

" I've been anticipating getting my hands on this one for a while now, seeing as I'm a huge fan of both director Mike Flanagan and Stephen King. The combination of the two sounded like a masterstroke to me, and that's exactly what it turned out to be. This is a fantastic film on every level, and although it's much more than a simple horror film, it's also fantastically suspenseful, disturbing and truly frightening at times. The acting is the centerpiece here, seeing as the concept of a woman l"

“Another fantastic recent King adaptation. We're officially on a roll here. Top notch work from Mike Flanagan adapting such a complex concept to the screen in a manner that was both fiercely loyal and just the right amount of innovative. Very happy with this.” read more

"First viewing - June 11th Here's another Stephen King adaptation I can't compare to the source material, but I really enjoyed it. It's a dark, twisted little film that's occasionally tough to hang with but kept me guessing until the end. There are some creepy and gory moments that I appreciated, and it took me a little while to unwind from it so I could sleep without expecting one character in particular to invade my dreams. I'm not sure the ending entirely works for me, but overall I'm glad I "
