I’m really into the idea of adapting novellas. It’s a great base for horror and filmmakers can really strip apart an idea for the creepy details.
1922 is pretty straightforward but the punchline isn’t exactly spoon fed. It’s a film about guilt and more specifically, inescapable guilt.
Thomas Jane is really the highlight of the entire movie. His performance absolutely blew me away. I truly had no idea he was capable of this caliber acting. Its this performance that really kept the candle burning when the pace slowed down.
I really dug this one but the coffee hasn’t kicked in quite yet and I’m having difficultly formulating my thoughts.
