Blessed_One A I really enjoyed this movie, it was very interesting to see this young boy spending time with Mr Harrigan gaining knowledge. Anything Stephen King makes I love to watch anyways. Not giving out spoilers but it's worth watching. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/23/25 Full Review Audience Member I loved this movie. I had went in expecting horror, but was instead pleasantly surprised by the absolute stunning story. I thought it would be a lot more of a supernatural thriller, but I’m not disappointed with what I got, not at all. It’s beautiful. Acting was great, I thought the pacing of the story was well timed, cinematography was amazing, story itself was brilliant, and just everything about it was wonderful. I never really get this into movies, but I genuinely loved this one. I turned it on as background noise as I worked on a puzzle, but ending up almost only watching the movie. It’s just such a masterpiece and the only thing I have to say is I just wish they expanded Mr. Harrigan’s story a little more. Felt like we spent so much time with him to know so little. Other than that, I honestly don’t have any other big complaints. Go check it out. Totally recommend. Ps. A lot of the lower reviews are talking about the pacing and lack of horror, so if you don’t mind it being a little slow (at least to start with) and there being no actual jumpscares, don’t worry about that Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Jasey H I'm sure some people expect horror seeing Stephen King, but some of his best work is not outright terror. Don't go in expecting horror! As a huge King fan, I was pleasantly surprised how this movie turned out. It's not as good or deeply emotional as the written story, but rarely do his characters' intensities come through on screen. That said, the cast did well with the material. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Kal W Absolutely terrible. Donald Sutherland is the highlight but little else is worthy of praise - takes over 40 minutes to get to the heart of the story but the heart is more ponderous than the build up. What is this film? thriller? horror? Psychological drama? Whatever it's trying to be it does a poor job of it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Kevin B The line where the mobile phone is compared to an "entry level drug" makes this a very thought provoking movie. Hannigan is introduced to the mobile phone whilst he tries to instill a love of books and knowledge to his young apprentice. In another scene where the boy reads the book whilst the old man seemingly ignores him whilst using his phone is priceless. Throw away the phone....throw it away!😉 Social commentary at its best...as you "dear reader" are reading this review on the phoniverse of your mobile Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Erin W I loved this movie, though it wasn't as frightening as I expected. Instead, I was captivated by its beautifully crafted story. The screenplay stood out to me as particularly well-written. Ryan Murphy's direction was impressive, and the acting was phenomenal, truly breathing life into the characters. I'd rate it a perfect five out of five.
