Plot: The small town of Castle Rock is quickly turned into the devil's playground after the arrival of the mysterious shopkeeper, Leland Gaunt.
Not a film to partake of if you're looking for a solid representation of the somewhat large and unwieldy novel it's based on. Departing from the stranger (and at time darkly comedic) elements of the source material, this rendition leans more into a traditional take of devilish mischief and predation visited upon the weak-willed. However, despite some inspired casting, the film feels a bit disjointed with its thin characters, its touch-and-go plotting, and a strange disjointedness. Ultimately, you feel like you've watched vignettes or excerpts that belong in a bigger story. If it were adapting all the events in the novel it might be understandable but it becomes almost unforgivable given that the story was considerably condensed for this cinematic interpretation. Not a total loss but nothing exceptional resides here.
