When I read Needful Things for the first time, I thought how perfect Max Von Syndow would be for the part of Gaunt. Then I look it up and find out he IS Gaunt in the movie!
Im sorry, but as much of a masterpiece the novel was (it WAS phenomenal) I felt the movie really did it a huge disservice. They were way to obvious about Leland Gaunt and the Satanic undertones and it was just a letdown :/
This might sound wrong but whenever I see Bonnie Bedelia in this or die hard, i feel like getting on my knees and sucking her toes. :-< I'm just a bad bad person.
This is not a good movie... Anyone who read the book could agree with me. The plot is changed too much and I think before watching this you should read the books first, then you will be able to judge if this movie is worth watching.
@luvleeds im reading the book now also...im a little iffy about the movie tho...i recently finished reading desperation and it was amazing but when i saw the movie it was just upsetting....im still gonna watch this one tho
@SERGEda3RD Yea I'm just about done reading, the last section is fantastic! But I know the film will probably not compare but I'm gona give it a watch anyway lol
@luvleeds I just finished reading the book the other day, and I don't understand how anyone could possibly make a film as good as the book is. But I'm going to watch it anyway. :)
Ha do they include in the movie the part from the book where Gaunt tells one of his customers to give him a blow job and then decides against it because "oral sex gives him amnesia."
The voiceover in these things is way to light and happy or the subject matter, makes it seem like the movie is tongue-in-cheek. I watched the movie time and again, the long version, but I wish they had included all the book's subplots, and the fact that it was an actual suicide, not attempted. Dark story.
I absolutely love this movie, I used to watch it time and time again when I was at high school. I would kill to see this so-called 3 hour version. I noticed two clips I had not scene before. Please release a special edition of this movie!!!
Oh wow, how different is it to the standard version? Does it explain a bit about that lady who wears the Elvis shades? I think her name is Cora, although I can't remember. Thanks! :)
@Warwolf2008 Oh? What was in that version that was left out of the original? I was so let down they did not show the Elvis rivalry between Myra Evans and Cora Rusk! There was one tiny cameo with Cora wearing the King's sunglasses if I remember correctly T_T
@shitcasecinema In all honesty you are not missing much. I have it on a dvd, got it from Asylum Of Oblivion. There is an hour extra and it is cool but it is nowhere near as good as the normal release.
Definitely one of my favorite books. The movie wasn't that bad either, though I think it could've been better. The use of "Hall of the Mountain King" when Nettie was pranking Keeton was awesome, though. Everytime I listen to the music, I think of that part. XD
That last trailer had music from "Bram Stoker's DRACULA". Interesting. Made it sound scarier than the other trailers. I like the funny ones, though. ^^
Nice little story , well put together film with good performances from all , if your a king fan it definitely is a needful thing to have in your collection .
I love this film. Misery is excellent etc but I have always really liked Needful Things. Needful Things and Misery are my two favourite film adaptions of King's books.
Good GOD! I somebody pleeeeeeeaaaaaas put up the end sequence with Mr. Gaunt driving off and the credits rolling, I LOVE THAT MUSIC (though maybe not enough to sell my soul or integrity ;).
I didnt have any problem with the cast. they changed around a lot of things, like the fox tail, the black guy who gets that car. Some very cool things.
I watched IT recently, loved the movie, but I have to read the book.
I wonder if there is some movie based on The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon : P

Films can rarely, if ever, live up to the books they're based on. Thusly...
RubyBladeAwesome 2 years ago
That's because the book is so long, and descriptive as is all of King's works.
A two hour film cannot even come close to doing a King book justice, especially one such as Needful Things.
