A writer fakes a murder to kill off his alter ego in a horror movie with a killer cast.
Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
A horror writer hopes to distance himself from his murder novels and from George Stark, the name he has used to anonymously author them. To achieve this, he cooks up a murder of his own: a publicity stunt that should lay Stark to rest forever.
"Two masters of horror, together: George A. Romero adapting a book written by Stephen King. That alone is reason enough to watch the movie. The script is also well rounded, in addition to a good performance by Timothy Hutton in the role of the troubled protagonist."
