November 28, 2014George Romero directed this suspenseful and impressive thriller, based on the book by Stephen King. 'The Dark Half' takes a look into the mind of a writer who may or may not be going completely mad. Timothy Hutton stars as Thad Beaumont, the writer who writes mostly non-fiction material, but under the pseudonym George Stark he writes a series of trashy novels about crime and other seedy things. After a man threatens to make public the use of the pseudonym and potentially hurt Beaumont's professional career, they decide to come clean and kill off his fictional alter-ego. Stark doesn't take it lying down though, and essentially comes to life, killing anyone who stands in his way. With the help of his wife (Amy Madigan) and the local Sheriff (Michael Rooker), Beaumont has to find a way to kill Stark before Stark can kill him. It is a fascinating movie that is far superior to another similar movie that was adapted from a Stephen King novel - 'Secret Window'. Watch 'The Dark Half'. The special effects aren't great by today's standards, but the suspense is there and the story is great.
