Terry T 12/27/2024 Skip this movie completely. No suspense and dull. See more J R 07/29/2024 It was enjoyable for what it was, if you think of it like a Lifetime made-for-tv kind of movie. Every now and then one of those is just what you need. Forgettable, but does what it was intended to do for you on a typical night. See more Jeremy A 07/09/2024 Basic BTK story again. Like the one where the son finds out instead of the wife.... 3.0 See more Jeff M @jeffmarshallmovieblogger 01/18/2024 I am not familiar with the source material, but there is absolutely nothing in this thrill-less thriller, other than his name in the title, that would lead one to believe this came from the fertile imagination of Stephen King. If nothing else, it plays like one of those horrible Lifetime television movie events with titles like THERE'S A SERIAL KILLER IN MY BEDROOM: THE JESSICA BARTLETT STORY. It's an apathetic viewing experience that relies on too many cliches of the genre, most notably the old standard is-this-really-happening-or-is-it-just-her-imagination. And for the first time, I found myself disappointed in a Joan Allen performance. She's perfunctory and reliable as always, but it feels a little routine and, at times, inexplicably awkward. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but she doesn't seem comfortable in the role. And her transformation does not feel convincing, although I blame that more on writing than performance. I'd be curious to read King's novella to see if the original story was just as bland as this adaptation or if the filmmakers simply milked it of any inspiration it might have had. King fans will be disappointed - add this one to the list of unsuccessful treatments of his material. And let's find Allen some better material - it's been way too long since she's had a role worthy of her talent. See more Mary M 11/01/2023 It was suspenseful throughout. Premise was fascinating. Acting wonderful. Joan Allen was entirely believable. Really—you can't go wrong with Stephen King. See more Scott R @ScottR 10/21/2023 NYT 1000 movies list. Maybe I messed up? Random film tried on Freevee and it was a dud. Some good things here and there, but it fell short. See more Read all reviews
