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.
There should be news of a US distribution deal fairly soon.
ReplyDeleteI honestly can't wait! This looks wonderful. So -- is there any word on what Mr. King thought of the movie?
