Film Review: Stephen King’s ‘1922’ - Shannon is sent to a Catholic girls' school in Omaha, but Henry flees to bail her out, committing several robberies along the way.
Adapted from Stephen King's novella, 1922 is a film that will divide certain audiences. After a summer of successful, suspenseful King adaptations IT, Gerald's Game , this is almost an anti-king film, it's a film that basks in its atmosphere. It's also a film that's solely focused on its characters rather than plot. Thomas Jane stars as Wilfred James a dedicated ranch owner who conspires with his son Henry Dylan Schmid to murder his wife Arlette Molly Parker when she starts the process of selling the ranch. Hiditch and his cinematographer Ben Richardson do a wonderful job of nailing the time period. The film's setting is gorgeous to look at, and the homestead has an almost omnipresent feel to it. It becomes a character in and of itself as the corn fields glisten against the backdrop of beautiful sunsets, whilst hiding darker secrets in the cracks of its foundations. The technical aspects of the film are expertly crafted. Thomas Jane is fantastic is his role as a somewhat unhinged man filled with rage and regret. Every time he's on-screen he pulls you in with his mesmerising presence. Whilst I feel this may be divisive, I enjoyed the direction it took. The films eerie, nihilistic tone makes up for the lack of urgency in the script. Instead it respects its audience and asks them to come along on a journey through the protagonists mind. The only downside with the film is with so much focus given to Jane, the rest of the cast aren't fully developed, and some of their plot threads felt under-developed. However the film does a fantastic job of developing Jane's character which makes up for the short-comings of others. The films attention to detail makes 1922 an effective psychological horror film. I loved it from start to end. Thomas Jane gives another excellent performance! The plot is thrilling and makes you want to keep watching even if it's a slow-paced film. The ones that didn't depend on jump-scares or stupid demonic creatures to make the whole movie. Don't listen to those few people arguing the film was boring because it was slow. Maybe they're used to jump-scares and serial killers. This is a very simple but deep plot that is worth seeing. The movie 1922 - based on the Stephen King novella with the same name - starts of promising. We are shown a great field with corn, belonging to our main character Wilfred James and his wife Arlette, who inherited the land from her deceased father. Although the two have some problems concerning their marriage, the sheer amount of corn just makes more then up for it. The farmer and his wife posses corn as far as the eye can see. But after all that corn is harvested before the incoming winter, we don't see that corn ever again. I guess one could draw a parralel between the literal decline of the amount of corn - the one vegetable Wilfred loves so much he even kills his wife to prevend her from selling the land on which the corn resides - and the mental decline of Wilfred and the physical decline of the estate as the movie progresses along after Wilfred's sin, but who cares. I just wanna see more corn. I rate this movie six out of ten pieces of corn: not enough corn. Gosh darn I just love corn so much. Based on Stephen King's novella of the same name, 1922 is like Stephen King's own version of Allen Poe's timeless classic THE TELL-TALE HEART story that set around here Wilfred James, a Nebraska farmer with a bitter wife named Arlette and a loyal son named Henry. This hardworking but not-too-successful farmer finds himself under increasing pressure from his wife when she clearly started to express her frustrations living in the country and wants to sell her all of the 100 acres of land that she got inheritably and move to the big city. Through their disagreements, when Arlette threatens to divorce him, taking the son with her, Wilfred plots to murder her and methodically persuades his son to become his partner in crime. This is beautifully done, an effectively slow-burn horror-drama directed by Zak Hilditch and like the way Carla Gugino turned GERALD'S GAME into her own showcase of versatile acting talent, this time almost an unrecognizable Thomas Jane delivered one of his best performances in career, IMO. Much like Stephen King's 1408 a short story from his Everything's Eventual collection , 1922 is another short story that transfers well to the silver screen. Hundreds of acres of pristine farmland, a thriving crop, a proud father, and blue skies as far as one can see. The husband has plenty to love about life here, except for his ill-contented wife. This idyllic scene becomes the backdrop of husbands conniving treachery, and a thematic string of mishaps and horrors which follow. The sweet life is not so sweet anymore. Thomas Jane churns out a strong and convincing performance not to be missed. Post the stupendous success of IT, Netflix has delivered another movie based on a Stephen King novella of the same name. The movie is narrated by Wilfred - a farmer who owns 80 acres of land. His wife Arlette has been bequeathed 100 acres of land by her father. What happens next forms the crux of the story. The movie starts off a bit slowly but picks up pace soon. The movie gets scarier as story proceeds further. Special mention needs to be given to Thomas Jane for his performance. The movie does fall short in the spooks department. While it does have its share of scary moments, you are likely to be disappointed with the thrills. But if you are a sucker for horror movies, this one is worth watch. This one had so much potential but ultimately failed to deliver as an adequate piece of entertainment or enjoyment. It starts off excellently, the story is gripping the scenes and cinematography excellent, the cast is good and there is a great feel of authenticity about the period. Initially the plot is a little far fetched and only by giving some considerable leeway is it acceptable. The story however, degenerates slowly and sadly after 20 mins it gathers momentum and continues in a downward slide till its conclusion. I wasn't certain if this was a thriller a murder mystery or horror or something else. I think its a bit of all three but the blend is bad and the delivery is a little lacking. I'm not even sure where this one went wrong but my attention started to wane about 30 minutes in, and I was bored and restless 10 minutes later. I think one of the problems I had with it is that nothing much happens. Or at least in a way meaningful enough to keep me interested. By the time it had all panned out and I made my way out, all I could think of was 'meh' and wished I'd taken up the offer to play Nerf with my nephews instead. I didn't like it, but I've given it 5 because I do think it deserves some credit for the good work done here. However, it still a boring piece and ultimately had little to offer as an enjoyable movie. Even though I completely appreciate there were great aspects to the production, the end product as an cinema experience was lacklustre and hollow. I can't recommend it. I thought it was fantastic and am kind of surprised by the relatively low rating. But, and this is probably the big one, I love slow, plodding, tension building plots and this one delivered on that front, for me at least. I did have to turn on the sub-titles though because I couldn't understand half of what Thomas Jane was saying, but I didn't live in Kansas or wherever it was supposed to take place in the 1920s so who am I to judge. I also loved Molly's portrayal of the strident, bored, ambitious housewife although I almost sympathised with Wilfred for her single-minded desire to leave, and the threat to take everything away from him. In the end it was an excellent cinematic portrayal of what happens when a moral dilemma results in the wrong avenue of choice. Sometimes taking on responsibility or rather acting upon what you think is right, might be the wrong thing. Especially if it is considered a sin and a bad thing for that matter. If you've read the synopsis, you know what I'm talking about. If not I won't spoil one early on relatively shocking moment. Thomas Jane put a lot of effort in this, that is for sure. His accent may feel weird at the beginning, but you get used to it and you have to admire his passion for his job. He may or may not like the interaction with fans, but when it comes to his craft he really loves what he does and you can tell. Unfortunately there is not much he can play with here. Although I'm pretty sure the book is a good read might have to check it out sometime... Thomas Jane plays a farmer in 1922 trying to get the land willed to his wife. His wife wants no part of the farming lifestyle so he concocts a plan to kill her and take the land for himself. This movie is a slow burn with a very internalized character. There is bits of voiceover that helps put you more into his frame of mind. You feel every bit of sun. You feel every creak in the old farmhouse. You understand where this character is at even though he speaks in such a strong low tone accent. You might have to put the subtitles on in order to get the full gist of what he is saying. He has the vocal patterns of the character in Sling Blade. His world begins to turn upside down and everything he knew and loved is taken from him. This is a solid, creepy film. The camera work is beautiful and really something to take in. It is creepy but not necessarily interested in being scary in the traditional sense. It is about haunting experiences. Sins brought down upon his own head. I give this movie a C. The movie is beautifully shot and very evocative of the period and location. The plot summary tells you up front what happens -- a man kills his wife after coercing his son into helping. Who knows why he couldn't have just done it himself. As expected with a Stephen King story, things go downhill afterwards. My primary objection is the accent used by Thomas Jane in the lead role. Was it supposed to be... Others have praised his acting so mine is a minority opinion, but I could never get past it. The story is narrated by the father, which isn't a device I particularly enjoy in general, plus it makes his weird accent and slowly deliberate way of speaking even more prominent. Please hire a new dialect coach. You know you can have a midwestern country accent and still OPEN your mouth right? Keeping your jaw tightly clenched the entire movie, really? Was he trying to mimic Billy Bob Thornton in Sling Blade? I cant remember the last time someone failed so badly at an accent. The horrible casting of Henry, the son. And lets talk about the scene when the mother cries out to her son as he walks to school... And the reason Arlette James wants to sell the land just inherited from her father and move to a big city.... She GREW UP ON A FARM! This is a farm family right. But oddly enough Henry so very often looks freshly showered, clean and wearing pressed clothing and supporting a fresh cut. In 1922 people took tub baths, usually once a week, same goes for washing their hair. Look back at photos from that era. And they certainly didn't wear ironed button-down shirts to school. Speaking of which, one of the main thematic elements of this film corresponds to that latter picture, with acres and acres of lush, green corn fields set as a backdrop to the story of a farmer intent on adding his wife's inheritance to an already sizable farm. All of which made it a little difficult for this viewer to wrap my head around, as this was originally a one family farm of eighty acres and worked only by Wilfred James Thomas Jane and his fourteen year old son Henry Dylan Schmid. When wife Arlette's Molly Parker father dies, she's left with a one hundred acre inheritance which 'Wilf' fully intends to add to his own acreage. Prior to large scale mechanization, I have no idea how Wilf was going to make a go of it, but for the sake of the story I guess one has to take it on faith. As it is though, Arlette sees her windfall as an opportunity to sell out to a large local combine and make a life for herself and her family in a city like Omaha or St. However her idea about opening a dress shop is met with stiff resistance by her husband, and quite coincidentally, her own son, who has a local sweetheart. When Wilf finally realizes that his wife is firm, he sets in motion a ghastly plan to murder her with his son as an accomplice. Though the film enters horror territory with the murder of Arlette, there appears to be a distinct departure from some of King's other works. In this one, it's not so much the return of Arlette's ghost that provides the scary elements, as the psychological trauma Wilfred experiences over the guilt of his crime. Not only does he experience the loss of his wife, but the son and eventual heir who he loves, runs off with his pregnant girlfriend, and turns to a life of crime to try and provide for them in a time and place devoid of employment opportunities. When news of their death reaches Wilf via his deceased wife's voice from the grave, he suffers an emotional breakdown heralded by the return of all three 'ghosts'. With Netflix, I find that they bring a real professionalism to the films made for their platform. Cinematography, effects and performers compare favorably to larger studios with bigger budgets, and for that they are to be commended. This latest entry serves as a good example, and for Stephen King fans, I think the project here is a good one for followers to get a sampling of. Another weekend and another one of those Netflix originals. The second Stephen King adaptation from the Netflix stable did not live up to the 'above-average' show by its predecessor Gerald's Game. This is all I can tell about the movie without revealing the very little the movie has to offer. However, the script, CGI, direction and story were loose and unappealing. Let me keep things short by saying I have seen a lot better movies in all three genres and I would have skipped this one had I read a review before! At some points it appeared to be building up some momentum but never delivers. At several points during the movie II nearly turned it off but it seemed to hold my attention just enough that I was able to make it to the end I'm sure many will enjoy this film, it's very different and the Thomas Jane's acting and portrayal of the difficult role of Wilfred James was nothing short of exceptional. But at the end of the day I beleive far more people will find this movie slow and hard to sit through. After all the ads my computer threw at me lately, I thought I'd give it a go. To be honest, my attention span now days does not allow movie viewing often. But, I love Steven King's writing, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Waste of time even though the actors were fine. It was disturbing to watch Thomas Jane talk with a clenched jaw out of one side of his jaw. Not compelling enough for a full length movie. When u will finish this movie u will certainly praise one thing first.. A surprising one as well as too much psychology mixer.. All the way down to the end of the tunnel the story circles around a confusing central truth... The truth of a human mind.. A husband makes his mind to kill his wife is not too uncommon. But the story describes much more complexity about the standing of his son.. The movie is plotted in the background of early 19s.. This also has added a lot of smooth surface in the overall progress. All those fascinating and animatic moves and actions are absent from here. Rather it is full of slow emotions and motions of life. Slowly flowing with a certain destination. All the dark side of human being is exposed but in a year dated back to 1922.. That makes the movie more impressive. The cinematography of the movie is also very attractive... A farm house full of crops around it like a western picture.. Very very eye catching.. Those green crops bounded by sands and muddy roads.. Blue horizontal sky above.. Brown hut shaped well furnished farm houses.. With every inch of mindblowing graphics.. One of the best aspect of the movie is though it is a horror movie it has less heart beating scenes compared to traditional one. Rather the horror scenes are more cause effective and purposeful.. Some are still capable of producing electrical impulse in you.. But mostly don't feature the accustomed horror movies i must guarantee it.. Finally I haven't read the novel of Stephen King.. But my request to those who have read it please don't compare it with the novel. Always writing is better tolerated than acting.. And Novels are often far better than the movies. And those like me no comparison with novel freely go for a 1hour 41Minute turbulence of emotions.. Darkness and ultimate surprise. Every movie has a good side to it and unfortunately for 1922, it's neither the atmosphere, dread or tension. I felt no thrills within the viewing of the movie and the fact that the movie needs to use mice and the scenes where a mouse comes out of Henry's moms mouth had to be reused just because that was the most disturbing thing of the movie is not a good sign. Acting was great tho however Thomas' voice got a little annoying in the process. Could have literally watched the movie and not even cared a single crap about it. OVerall very very unwatchable and not recommended - waste of time and forgettable. To be honest I'd go as far and say it's terrible but I'd give good points for the acting. It isn't horrible, but it trends far too much towards predictable and plodding to be anything near good. Wilfred James Thomas Jane and his son Henry Dylan Schmid are died-in-the-wool farmers. With Arlette threatening to move to the big city to open a dress shop and take Henry with her , father and son concoct a plan to stop this from happening. But how far will they go to keep their simple farm life... The problem here, however, is that everything seems so telegraphed that nothing feels unpredictable or exciting. I had read the King story previously, but very long ago and thus I honestly remembered next to nothing. In this adaptation, though, I felt like I knew everything that was going to happen within the first 15- 20 minutes. There are no twists, turns, or surprises...
