Stephen King noted that «Life of Chuck» — is not quite the expected movie based on his work. But he doesn’t criticize the movie and calls it one of the good ones.
The drama, directed by Mike Flanagan, departs from the canon of the traditional horror film based on the works of Stephen King. It adapts the short story of the same name from King’s collection «If the Blood Bleeds» from 2020. Flanagan acquired the rights to adapt the story for the big screen before the book was even released, and even King himself did not know whether it would be released.
THE LIFE OF CHUCK bows tomorrow evening at the Toronto Film Festival. This is one of the good ones. It’s sad, has a touch of the paranormal, but it’s also joyful and life-affirming. Maybe not what you’d expect from me, but there ya go.
