Check out theblood-shed.com review of You Can't Kill Stephen King.
The review is hard to read because -- are you ready? -- there are no paragraph breaks at all. It's one big block of text. BAM! It's like people who email me (usually women) who don't have any breaks in their thoughts.
That aside, the review is worth reading.
Here are some highlights:
- The film is B beyond dispute but it has production polish.
- The horror component isn’t compromised by the humor, a significant risk when mixing and matching fright with funny.
- The first kill is both classic and creative. -- its hash of humor and horror is well-balanced and effective.
- Even without the attention-snagging title there’s enough panache to make this more than mediocre.
- It’s not the Lawrence of Arabia of scary movies but it’s a good time nevertheless.
- All the best parts of a corpse-counter.
- If you’re paying attention you can hear the brooding opening music of Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of The Shining show up briefly in this film’s score. The movie throws bloody obvious fanboy gags at the viewer with one hand while with the other hand deftly slipping in less forward references for the initiated.
