I went into Chuck’s life knowing nothing except that it was a Stephen King novel. I assumed the movie would be a horror movie, and I was sorely mistaken, in the best way.
Mike Flanagan was also a director I was unfamiliar with – so my expectations were really low
Plus – Chuck’s life took on the rhythms of what makes for a great horror film – well-developed and relatable characters with a unique and mysterious situation put them in. I want to keep my review relatively vague because I believe the hook of the film works best without much knowledge.
I recommend it
I walked away from the film feeling a mixture of joy and melancholy and appreciating the artistry that brought me there.
