The Dark Half - 1993 **


Thad? Is anyone called Thad? Oh well. Here, a writer named 'Thad' gains worldwide recognition from his thriller novels, writing both under his real name and a pseudonym of George Stark. However, when the public realises they are one and the same, he holds a ridiculous mock funeral for George Stark to throw them off the scent. So far so good. But soon, murders begin to be committed in a disturbingly similar manner to the ones in the George Stark books. Thad slowly begins to find it hard to separate fiction from reality when he works out that Stark is real, and deadly. Okay, but a bit of a disappointment. Maybe no King films will live up to the likes of 'Misery' and 'The Shining' for me.
