Review of Needful Things (1993) by Jennifer R — 15 Apr 2011
'Needful Things' is my least favourite King novel - if you like reading a 700-page book about pranks then it may be for you. Moreover, there's nothing to be done with the source material except hire the greatest actor ever, Max Von Sydow, as the antagonist.
And when boring pranks and Sydow's brilliant performance are the only two things running the show we get one depressing movie about nothing so - considering it was directed by gun-holding douche-bag Charlton Heston's son - just bow everything up.
Terrible film. Max Von Sydow: amazing. Such a shame.
