Storm of the Century | Year: 1999 Classification: Horror Directed: - Craig R. Baxley Don't watch it in the dark! Storm of the century is one of the creepiest movies I have ever seen. This four and one-half hour long Stephen King story will keep you rivited to the edge of your seat. It is a story- as are many of Stephen King's works- of what happens to the citizens of a small town when an evil force enters their community. In this case, it happens during the snow "storm of the century". The film created such a chilling atmosphere that I found myself turning the heat up and fixing a cup of hot chocolate just to warm up. You will also find yourself watching this film in one sitting because you simply must find out what the villian means when he says, "Just give me what I want, and I will go away".<BR> Tim Daly is excellent in his role as the town constable, but he is working with a first-rate case that were well selected for their parts: from the villian to the town manager's bully of a son, each actor appears well suited to the role they play. <BR>See Storm of the Century.. but not at night, and not when you're all alone...especially not if it's snowing.. this movie gave me what i wanted Now sitting down to watch the highly anticipated 4 part t.v. adaption ( i now own the dvd and it is amazing) I didn't have any exspectations because there was no novel version( the only book you can by of this was the screenplay and it wasn't availible at the time i saw it) The setting was definetly King worthy small maine town a big storm nothing the towns people of little tall island have gone through 100 times before or is it....................The acting Is incredible for a tv movie such as this the villian is scary as hell yet realistic and some may say this movie is to slow paced but i disagree as you watch on you see the characters mature and grow and thats just not going to happen in a span of 2 hours so this movie is long for good reason. No matter how many times i watch this the night after i look around my room twice before turning off the light............................ Don't waste your time I really like Stephen King, but this has got to be one of his worst works ever. EVER. The plot is intruiging, but the movie is sooooo long. It's like, what, five hours? The movie pulls you in with an interesting begining, and keeps you watching with a so-so middle, but there is really no point. There is so much unneccesary information and there are so many pointless scenes. Yeah, like, seven people or so die, but there isn't really anything all too exciting about it. After a while, this movie becomes quite annoying, and you just want to see what the guy wants, and what he wants is rather idiotic, and is very anti-climactic. So, in my opinion, don't waste your time watching this. Buy Storm Of The Century at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
