Editorial Review: Amazon.com: "Give me what I want and I'll go away," demands the black-eyed, stocking-capped stranger Linoge (Colm Feore), who appears in a quiet island community on the verge of the worst storm in decades and brutally bludgeons an old lady to death. Tim Daly, the town sheriff and voice of reason and moral strength, locks up the quiet madman, but the deaths pile up as Linoge acts them out from his cell like a murderous mime pulling psychic strings. Stephen King, whose original teleplay is his best work for the screen since The Stand, transforms the sleepy burg into a Peyton Place of guilty secrets and criminal activity ripped from under a blanket of small town normality while the white-out of the snowstorm completely cuts them off from civilization. Director Craig R. Baxley nicely maintains an icy tension while the waiting game goes on, perhaps a little too long, before Linoge finally reveals "what he wants" and the drama turns into a struggle for man's soul in miniature. The more ambitious special effects and set pieces sometimes disappoint but are more than made up for in King's knack for turning the mundane into the macabre (the children's song "I'm a Little Teapot" has never sounded more sinister) and a few brilliantly realized sequences, the best of which occurs when townspeople are literally yanked out of existence while watching the storm. Storm of the Century is one of the most successful translations of King's brand of horror to the screen. --Sean Axmaker Customer Reviews Average Rating:

Most of his novels have not been very well adapted to the big screen (or small screen) during his long career. This likely has more to do with those who try to ...

Rating:  - Storm of the CenturyExcelente pelicula, a pesar de que es larga te mantiene en tension por lo que va a pasar, creo que una de las mejores peliculas de suspenso y miedo de Stephen King... Rating: - A worthy addition to one's Stephen King film library!The movie, Storm of the Century, was written by Stephen King specifically for television and because of that most of the violence was down played and left to the viewer's imagination. As King often says about television, "the networks give and the ... Read More Rating: - STORM OF THE CENTURYI REALLY LIKED THIS MOVIE IT'S WORTH WATCHING WHEN YOU GET TIME GIVE IT A TRY.
