Storm of the Century

Pros: Effective story and script, stellar cast, fine directing
Cons: No big complaints about the miniseries, but hate the double-sided DVD

Give me what I want and I'll go away. Although I'm not particularly fond of horror movies -- or horror novels, for that matter -- either made for theatrical release or for television, I do occasionally watch a "creature feature" if the story ...

Pros: Great "Monster", Cool Ending...
Cons: This Movie REALLY Moves at a Slow Pace Sometimes...

Up until early this year I slowly began straying away from horror films, nothing really seemed appealing to me anymore, all the horror films were becoming senseless shallow slashers. Well I continued to stray away from these movies, until I watched...

Pros: Tim Daly was good, and Debrah Farentino is pretty hot
Cons: The movie

I am a huge Stephen King fan. I have just about every novel, except for a couple I lost somewhere, and I think all the movies he has available on DVD in my collection as well. Storm of the Century was recommended to me by two people. One was my ...

Pros: acting, scenery, story, ending, directing
Cons: could be more thrilling, length does get boring at times

Storm of the Century should not be looked upon as a horror movie. It shouldn't be feared or kept away from the children. It's a tale of character. More of a test; Storm of the Century asks the ultimate hypothetical question that may prove you...

Pros: Nice acting and some creepy parts.
Cons: The storm should have more fierce.

Storm Of The Century (1998) Starring Timothy Daly, Debra Farentino, and Colm Feore. Written by Stephen King Directed by Craig R Baxley 4 and 16 minutes Rated PG13 The movie Storm of the Century is not much of a storm as I thought it ...

Pros: The cast, writing, directing, suspence
Cons: double-sided DVD.

I was loaned this movie while recovering from an injury that has me laid-up in bed. A friend who is a big S. King fan thought I might get a kick out of this movie. Not having much choice in my movie selections, I tried it out. Starring Tim Daly, as ...

Pros: Great story
Cons: Slow at times

Storm of the Century is Stephen Kings eighth TV movie to date. Each year King comes out with one 4-6 hour miniseries that either goes over big or flops big time. Unlike the rest of Kings movies this one is not based on any of his books. It is a...

Pros: Terrific climax
Cons: Overlong

Donald Trump probably hears it every time he gets divorced: "Give me what I want and I will go away." Stephen King, a prolific author of books beautiful (The Green Mile serial) and banal (Christine), recently wove a miniseries, the TV...

Pros: Good story, solid characters, great acting, with a lot of mystery
Cons: Too long for one sitting, could have been more suspenseful

This film is a made for T.V. movie, written by the famous Stephen King, and directed by Craig R. Baxley. It was first shown on a special 2-night television presentation. The version I am reviewing was purchased on DVD. Since it was made for television, ...

Pros: Scary, taut, cuts to the chase early.
Cons: Very long.

I didn’t get the chance to see this miniseries when it premiered originally on cable television ...

Pros: Suspenseful, amazing story line, and not too gorey with the visuals.
Cons: Wouldn't allow my very young children to watch.

I saw this video at my local video store and had to rent it. You see, I'm a major Stephen King fan, but I'm not always like his screenplays. Well, I read the description on the back and was sceptical. I'm not a horror film type of person. I don't mind...

Pros: Give me what I want and I will go away!
Cons: It is a loooonnnnnggggg movie, over 4 hours!

I rented this movie understanding that this would be a great Steven King movie and did not tell my husband it was Steven King until we started watching it. He does not appreciate any scary movies. I usually read all my scary books and do not rent the...

Pros: Such a fun film to get into, with such great characters and excellent portrayals of them.
Cons: Nothing major. Even characters who are slightly "boring"(two named Billy and Cat, for example) end up worthwhile.

And that's quite the compliment in my opinion, too. These two films might not be considered "great," but er, what Stephen King movies are? Anyway, they are absorbing and lots of fun, and that's just as good, sometimes. I was especially pleased...

Pros: Good story, suspenseful,
Cons: long, somewhat predictable

My roomie recently purchased a DVD player, and Storm of the Century was available at the retailer for a very low price, so we decided to purchase it even though neither of us had ever seen it. We were not disappointed.

Though long (it was...

Pros: King's usual good vs. evil that keeps the excitement going, good message
Cons: long, some things were too obvious but not the ending, the ending itself

************************************************************

King incorporates a lot of things into this plot. Plays a part in the movie: people's actions, the way people think (or don't think) about sin, secretiveness, powers that some people...
