September 16, 2009Horrifying and merciless. An OK Stephen King adaptation which could have been better, but the film delivers the goods.
46/100 -
August 26, 2009Stephen King adaptations're usually not worth a shit ("Misery" and "Apt Pupil" being the exceptions) with awful Kubrick's "Shining" in front row and I can understand King's frustrations he expressed in many occasions throughout the years. Is it really so difficult to catch the es...( read more)

July 17, 2009Set in the small township of Castle Rock - a fictional location created by Stephen King - 'Needful Things' is the tale of an antiques shop run by Leland Gaunt, the Devil himself, played by Max Von Sydow. As the proprietor of the New England business, Gaunt gets his claws into the...( read more)

June 10, 2009Like they say; some King adaptations hit, others miss. This one does hit! I loved the book when I read it, loved the m?vie too. Very good.
-
June 3, 2009My favourite Stephen King story, not a bad adaptation. Max Von Sydow plays an excellent part.

May 2, 2009A pretty good adaptation of the King book. The cast does a really good job and Sydow as the devil works really well. If you like the movie I recommend you read the book as a lot more happens in the story than they are able to put on screen.

January 26, 2009la idea es buena pero como serlo si es una adptacion de una novela de Stephen King ya en la pantalla no es muy especial pero aun así es entretenida

December 25, 2008Would like to see the extended cut of this movie. Max Von Sydow is brilliant as the devil incarnate. An interesting turn for the man who play Father Merrin in the Exorcist. Also enjoyed watching ed harris as the cop

December 23, 2008I've never read the book but this was a okay film. Has a scary enough story and a good cast.

December 1, 2008while better than most stephen king adaptations it's still only... good. good is better than crap though. interesting story as well. enjoyed watching ed harris as the cop

November 6, 2008This is a very poor adaptaion of a fairly decent Stephen King story. Max Von Sydow is great as the uber-creepy villian but the praise for this ends here.

October 21, 2008I'm really not interested in seeing it, but since JT was in it, I may have to.
-
October 13, 2008This was kind of boring but I wasn't paying attention 100%. Most definitely is from 1993 though.
-
October 12, 2008I tried to read the book and couldn't as I got a good ways into it and still nothing had happened. i missed the begining of this film and only got to see maybe the second half but from what I saw I think I liked it better then the part of the book I read. Would give what I saw so...( read more)

September 2, 2008it's supposed to be a horror movie but i didn't find it scary at all :/ But it's still watchable
-
August 3, 2008Whimsical good fun. Certainly not on the same level of quality as Carrie, The Shining or 1408, but a good, solid romp through the horror genre. Lots of fun to be had here, if you let yourself.
-
July 27, 2008I actually didn't like the movie the first time I watched it, but now I love it Max Von Sydow is just a creepy old man and is well casted in this temptation to evil movie.
-
July 12, 2008I found this film to have a very interesting concept about the devil and the temptation he brings with him. It also nods at one of the books in The Bible, depicting Satan as a trusting individual and everybody will believe him. The devil has a name and that is Leland Gaunt, who i...( read more)
-
July 5, 2008Not very scary as much as it is a slightly suspenseful story about the devil who opens a shop in a small town. Not one of the best Stephen King movies, the book was much better. At least it is not the worst of his movies either. It does have it's moments.

June 30, 2008I love Max Von Sydow in this. It's just fun to watch him play Devils Advocate and wreak havoc through small favors and bartering. Stephen King at his best, is great at tacking conventional pulp horror premises (surrounded by mist and monsters, going ...(read more)insane in a haun...( read more)

June 11, 2008A Very good movie with alot of great actors.Ironically Max Von Sydown plays Satan in this and a priest in The Exorcist lol
-
June 10, 2008I wish I could watch every movie ever made but I sadly don't have the time. I'm not interested in this movie because I don't think I'll like it or don't know enough about it to think I might like it. I may still end up seeing it some day though.
