Bev Vincent Hones In On YOU CAN'T KILL STEPHEN KING



Have you seen "You Can't Kill Stephen King" yet?  Yeah -- me either.  It seems the entire planet will get a peek before we lowly Americans.  To help those of us who just can't seem to get a copy, Bev Vincent has posted a great review at Fearnet.

My favorite quotes:

  • I was pleasantly surprised. A Return to Salem’s Lot is a bad film. Creepshow 3 is a terrible film. You Can’t Kill Stephen King is fun. 
  • The movie is littered with other King references, including: a disturbingly creepy clown (some things can never be un-seen); a boat named Christine; characters named Pangborn, Verrill, Dodd and Bachman; a host of quoted dialog from and references to Kubrick’s The Shining (Ronnie is reading the novel); and a tattoo in the shape of the Crimson King’s all-seeing eye.
  • You Can’t Kill Stephen King has a wry sense of humor and it does an especially good job of building up false tension by relying on horror movie expectations.

  2. I honestly can't wait! This looks wonderful. So -- is there any word on what Mr. King thought of the movie?
