About this product

Product Information

Thad Beaumont (Timothy Hutton) is a happily married family man with a successfully two-faced career as a writer. On the one hand, he publishes respected but poorly-selling scholarly works under his own name. It is under the name George Stark, however, that he sells millions of books with his signature strain of extremely violent action novels. When Thad makes the decision to write only under his own name, he stages a PR-friendly burial for his pen name which receives prominent media coverage. After this event, it's not long before townspeople somehow connected to Thad start turning up dead, with all clues pointing to the unassuming author. Is there a second party trying to frame Thad? Could the murders be somehow connected to the fragments of a undeveloped twin removed from Thad's brain when he was a boy? When the sheriff (Michael Rooker) finds Thad's fingerprints at the crime scenes, the unsuspecting author's life spins increasingly out of control. Director George Romero adapts frequent collaborator Stephen King's 1989 best-seller into a tight mainstream thriller with a fine dual performance from Hutton.

  • Another Great Team Up Of Stephen King And George Romero

    This order arrived at my house within the same week I placed the order, and in top condition! The disc is also in top condition with excellent picture quality and no skipping at all, not even once! That is also not to mention how well the movie is, with the story and characters brought out very well and lively, especially the killer, George Stark! The great imaginative writing skills of Stephen King and the unique, creative directing tactics of George Romero really show throughout the film, just like they did in the original "Creepshow"! George Stark is definitely a great, original, and intense fictional killer that is very underrated since he is not nearly as known as Leatherface, Michael Meyers, Jason Vorhees, Freddy Kruger, Pinhead, and the like; but is just as equally intense with a lot of clever catchy dialogue in his own ways! This is recommended for horror and psychological thriller fans, especially fans of the book, along with other works from both Stephen King and George Romero!

  • The Dark Half DVD

    I read the book. The movie relates well to the book,, although it left out one part. Still, the movie was very good and entertaining. I enjoyed it very much! Sometimes I wonder what Stephen King dreams of to come up with the stories he writes about. He is my favorite!

  • Beware of the Other Half

    We all have an alter ego that we hold within for fear of being misunderstood. I guess sometimes it just won't be denied. Check out what can happen in the mind of Stephen King!

  • Amidst a sea of inept King inspired movies, finally a good one!

    One of the better King adaptations! Tim Hutton makes a fine King stand-in.
