Review of Gerald's Game (2017) by Penroze — 21 Sep 2021
The only Stephen King movie I had reviewed and rated prior to this was 1922, a movie that really disappointed me with its bland, drawn out story. I expected a story where the protagonist is chained to a bed for almost the entirety of it to be even more drawn out, but it's ended up being my favourite movie I've reviewed so far.
It's very graphic, but uses that skill well to tell a twisted tale of abuse and trauma, paired with the phenomenal acting from all parties involved, especially the main character. Not a single moment in the film is unmemorable, nor is it ever unsatisfying.
A damn great experience.
