VHS Movie Reviews of Needful Things [VHS]
Movie Review: Exellent choice
Summary: 5 Stars

Movie Review: unusual & entertaining movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this movie several years ago on tv (not your typical horror film) and i couldn't get certain parts of it out of my head... and couldn't remember other parts... so i bought it to watch again and i'm glad i did. If you decide to buy it... you'll be glad too! The crux of the movie is this.... how many 'things' from our past would we give 'anything' to possess again? QUESTION: What length would we be willing to go... to get badly declining good health back? You might be saying... that's a really tough one! I did get and appreciate the movie's underlying message.Movie Review: Needful Things
Summary: 5 Stars
Disc in great shape. Took almost a month to get here. Seller said they switched carriers due to lost packages. I dont hold it against seller. Movie Review: way way too harsh!
Summary: 3 Stars
I just read Jeff Shannon's review of this film and quite frankly i don't understand why he is so harsh. it may not be the best stephen king film but it's far from the worst. it's actually pretty good and quite underrated, esp. if you have seen the expanded tv version which is even better. why that hasn't been released on dvd is a true shame. what fans of this film really need is a truly re-edited version, that combines the two versions into one film. in any case,if you like steve's work of you liked the book,pay no attention to the review and go ahead and rent or buy this film, you won't be sorry.
now, if you want to see a truly horrible film,why not try "Independence Day" or "Transformers" both are completely unwatchable garbage and both made tons of cash. you decide!
Movie Review: Stephen King's Best
Summary: 5 Stars
This sleeper is one of, if not, Stephen Kings best. Ed Harris is great as the Sheriff of Castle Rock [Yes, the same Castle Rock that forms a backdrop for many of King's tales]. Max Von Sydow comes to town and opens the Needful Things curio store . Although there's never much inventory, Max can always reach under the counter and pull out just what you need from a one of a kind baseball card to a long lost high school jacket. The price is always modest as long as you'll do him a small favor.
Summary of Needful Things [VHS]
Stephen King adaptations are strictly hit-or-miss propositions, and this supernatural thriller from 1993 is definitely a "miss," based on one of King's lesser novels and starring Max von Sydow as the evil proprietor of a small-town antique shop named "Needful Things." That's the place where anyone can go to find the one thing they cherish the most (the town's aging jock finds his old, high-school letterman's jacket there, for example), but of course there's a price for such priceless keepsakes. Yep, that's right ... von Sydow is Satan, and his customers pay for "needful things" with their souls. The sheriff (Ed Harris) catches onto this hellish predicament, and, well ... let's just say things go downhill from there, with von Sydow delivering sardonic wisecracks as he wreaks devilish havoc on the town. Lots of stuff gets blown to bits, by which time this movie has long since worn out its welcome. Harris and von Sydow do their best to liven up the dreary scenario (directed by Charlton Heston's son, Fraser), but this is strictly for die-hard King fans, and even then the recommendation is marginal. --Jeff ShannonDrama Video
