When Thad Beaumont was a child, he had an operation to remove a tumour from his brain. during the operation, it was discovered that far from being a tumor, the growth was a twin brother of Thad's that never developed. Years later, Thad is a successful author, writing his serious books under his own name, and his pulp money-makers under the pseudonum "George Stark". When blackmailed by someone who has discovered his secret, Thad publically "buries" George Stark. From that point on, Thad increasingly becomes the prime suspect in a series of gruesome murders.
Leave your thoughts about The Dark Half.
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyThe Dark Half is an exceptionally entertaining film of its kind. Only Stanley Kubrick has ever adapted a King novel (The Shining) in such a way that the ending remains as satisfyingly spooky as the beginning. |
| The Seattle TimesJeff ShannonKing and Romero are a natural match, and though this isn't the best of the King-derived horror movies--The Shining and The Dead Zone probably are--it's close. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergCertainly nothing brilliant, but King fans may find something to enjoy. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonLegendary horror director George A. Romero takes this material seriously and lends a real intimacy -- and real dread -- to it. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleIt's an uncommonly mature and intelligent chiller, particularly in a period when the genre has devolved into wisecracking fiends and empty special effects showcases. |
| VarietyVariety StaffHutton's George Stark is a terrific contrast, a cowboy greaser in black who's all razor edges, cigarettes and booze. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyRomero's adapation of King's novella is not a great horror flick but a decent genre item. |
| TV GuideStaffRomero is starting to appear to be a successor to Hitchcock, crafting intelligent stories of ordinary people in dire peril and lacing them with dark wit. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzShould satisfy mostly hardcore fans of the horror genre. |
| TheBluFile.comDustin PutmanA riveting horror-thriller with a textured sense of location and encroaching menace. |
