Review of Needful Things (1993) by Janet Maslin for The New York Times — 02 Jun 2015
Though this is by no means the grisliest or most witless film made from one of Mr. King's horrific fantasies, it can lay claim to being the most unpleasant. Why? Because when you strip away the suspenseful buildup to a King story, you're often left with mechanical moralizing and crude, sophomoric small talk.
Needful Things has more of both than any film could ever need.
