Reviews

fraynio Worth the watch. But not for the Marvel/Star Wars crowd. As you can probably tell from the reviews, there were not enough explosions or CGI to keep most people entertained.

Johnny H. Just like Death Note, Gerald's Game is a film that couldn't be released in theaters because it takes a story that just doesn't fit a one-off feature film format. Gerald's Game does have good moments, but the ending is where the film becomes an exposition-ridden slog that becomes the archetypal cliche-ridden Stephen King fest (the IT-mini-series, Children of the Corn, The Lawnmower Man and so on) we've seen again and again.Child abuse? Check. Questionable husband? Check. Tormented woman whose backstory and revelation is shoehorned into the ending of the story? Check. Ominous monster whom we don't know anything about (basically a psychological IT)? Double-check.Bottom-line, I don't think this comes even close to 2017's other Stephen King adaptation: IT. Gerald's Game squanders its potential and the ending's dependence on easily resolving childhood trauma with some ominous being just seemed... unbelievably hokey to me. Trauma's never that easy to get over; it requires something way less binary and obvious.This straight-to-web film gets 2.5/5 stars.

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a woman who must break free from her shackles in order to stay alive, after her husband dies unexpectedly.The story wastes no time and gets right into the juice very soon after it starts. I did wonder how they are going to fill the rest of the film, and it turns out there are a lot of subplots that are scary, thrilling and heartbreaking. It is an intense film that unnerves and unsettles viewers.

SNS_Jin This movie would have been much better if it had been released a few years ago. Right now the whole thing is a bit tainted by the obvious "#metoo" movement.This movie is based on the amazing book by Stephen King. And if you remove the ridiculous ending the movie stays pretty true to the original source.The movie looks great, good pacing, acting is average.5/5
