1922

Another Netflix Original movie I "took a chance" on, this one is another Stephen King adaptation.  I'll admit I was hooked throughout, the star of the film, Thomas Jane does a remarkable job, the slow pacing of the film is carried by his character.  It's a dark a dramatic tale of a man who kills his wife to keep his farm and his son, but he is haunted afterwards.  Are the ghosts in his mind, or are they real?  I've said before I like Stephen King and that he usually has definitive endings to his stories, sometimes they're unsatisfactory, and unfortunately this one doesn't pay off in the end...that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the ride, and after looking up how the story ends in the novella, I'm satisfied.  Recommend.
