Summary: I LIKED IT!
Review: Storm of The Century is one of those movies that time goes by before you know it. I happen to like Islands so that immediately drew me in, and a snow storm to boot, good job!
I felt Tim Daley was excellent in this movie. He played his character in an outstanding way that could be felt right in your living room. I didn't really like how it ended, I wanted closure, but realize in these movies you are not going to get that! So be it! I enjoyed it and think it would be worth your time to watch!

Summary: Has to be the best ever.
Review: Storm of the Century is very well done. It has a way of captivating you to the point where you simply forget how long the film is (about 4 hours) and you just want to see what's going to happen next. I would like to see a prequil and a sequil to this film and maybe even have it become a series about the people on Little Tall Island (as long as Steven King has to do with it). On my personal top 100 favorite movies list, "Storm of the Century" comes in at #1. (No Kidding)

Summary: Storm of the Century Professional Review
Review: This Movie is an awesome thrilling suspenceful movie.
Plot: in 1989 a guy named Andre Linoge murders an old lady named Martha Claridan with a mysterious black cane with a silver wolfs head on the top. His eyes go black and you see his fierce fangs. Sheriff Michael Anderson (Tim Daly) captures him and puts him in a locked cell. While in the cell Linoge uses his cane to make people perform suicidal deaths on themself. When somebody finds them dead they always see the same message: "Give me what I want and I'll go away." Linoge escapes and schedules a meeting that night with the island folks to tell them what he wants. At the meeting he declares that he wants a child to raise. he also wants to turn the child into what a monster he is now. There are 8 children, one of which is the main character's, sheriff Michael Anderson. Linoge has eight stones seven white, but one black. He says that the parent who picks the black stone out of the bag has to give up their child. Michael argues with the people and tries to make the point that they shouldn't give up one of the island's children, but everybody, including his wife, says that they have no choice. Sure enough, Michael's wife picks the black stone and they have to give up their son, Ralphy, who is five years old. Afterwards Michael divorces his wife blaming her for the loss of their child because she agreed with the townsfolk to give a child away. ...I loved this movie but I hate the unhappy ending. I highly recommend this movie. It is very suspenseful and will keep you off the edge of your seat!

Summary: A storm of elements and souls
Review: "Storm of the Century" is probably the best of fabled author Stephen King's teleplays since "The Stand" and, like it, plunges us into a morality dilemma where we are consigned to the pergatory between good and evil. As a Peyton Place-esque New England town braces for its worst winter bashing in decades, a dark-eyed (sometimes) baddie we learn later is a dominion of evil itself, also blows into town, and soon the dead bodies pile up. As frantic townspeople seek the murderous demon in their midst, they congregate and later are trapped in a town office where sheriff Tim Daly tries to be the voice of reason and calm, until he confronts the face of evil and learns what it demands of him personally so that he can survive. The town's children could have relocated from the "Village of the Damned," and never have children of sacrifice been so sinister. In unique King style, "Storm of the Century" traps us with the victims seeking escape and, in the end, abolution that never really comes, and we feel the sense of entrapment and the danger of the icy grip outside if we run. With nowhere to run, we then are stuck to face our own choices, the moral implications they carry and the cost that will demand payment the rest of our lives. Director Craig R. Baxley manages to get from his actors chillingly effective performances, led by Colm Feore as Linoge, the messenger from hell, and Daly who, in the end, is left looking for a resolution that we are left to presume he will never find. In the end, evil is demanding from the town it entraps the souls of its children, and the morality play unfolds on the premise of what cost of survival. It's a provocative and worthwhile production that has King's unique signature throughout. A must-see for King die-hards!

Summary: The Greatest Of All Time
Review: It's one of those movies that makes you think: "What could I do?" and the answer is "Nothing". A being named Andre Linoge invades an island of not so innocent people, proves to them he is a force to be reckoned with by influencing some of them, through his Silver Wolf Headed Cane, to take their own lives (while he is held captive) and by being able to just look at anyone and tell them out loud, what horrible things they have done in the past. Then asks the town to "Give him what he wants, and he'll go away". In the meantime they are stuck on the island due to a heavy snow storm and many things start happening. They lose power, he makes them all dream this terrible dream where they did not "Give him what he wants" and they walked into the ocean one by one and were all killed, and he mesmerizes eight of the children on the Island as he changed the Silver Wolf Head on his cane to a Doggie. The children look at it and touch it one by one and pass out to the point where they can not be awoken, but they are not dead either. Now the town finally realizes that they need to at least hear what it is that he "wants" as they are all in fear of their lives and for the comatose children. When he tells them it is a shock to them all, but they feel as though they have no choice with the exception of one of them, the town constable named Michael Anderson. Michael fights against the outrageous desire of Andre Linoge and tries to get the town to agree with him. Some people may not like Good vs. bad where bad wins, but it is done so well that it captivates you to where you can not turn it off or look away. On my personal top 100 favorite movies list, it comes in at #1 No Joking!

Summary: Thrilling without blood!
Review: Well, i have seen numerous movies, especially thrillers, but this one...It is just the greatest one! Without a single drop of blood, if a remember well, it is as scary as hell and is definitely worth the time spent to watch it! It is really frightening, it chills you to the bone and most important of all...everything is unexpected! This masterpiece, coming from the master of horror Stephen King, is one more film that makes you question your sanity and wonder whether there is a real terrible fight between good and evil! The best movie i've seen so far and generally a movie for everyone on this planet who cares about the "WHY" of human existence! Enjoy!

Summary: Pure King
Review: Unlike most of the feature that fail to copy what King so easily accomplishes on paper, the Storm of the Century is a rarely terrifying movie. The story is tight and quick, the characters, though a little corky, are likeable. The antagonist has scary presence. "Give me what I want and I'll go away," is what the antagonist says to everyone he comes across on the small island of Littletall. Then he does something that is pure terror. He tells everyone your dirty little secrets. This is very effective. My absolute favorite part of the movie is towards the end, after the stranger totally terrifies the town, finally reveals what he wants and leaves the remaining population of the island to debate what they should do. King does not cheat us at this point. The debate is heated and very well written. If you can sit in front of the tub for 4 hours, this movie is a keeper.

Summary: Don't go to Little Tall Island
Review: Little Tall Island is a serene looking little hamlet but deep down it's a pretty sick place. The only person who doesn't know this is the sherrif so of course, he is one person on the island who suffers the most when a wizard--(or did the folks of the island attract him in some way?) blows into town with the worst snow storm in 100 years. The residents are completely cut off from the rest of the world. They're in the mercy of a monster and all they have to do is give him one of their children and he'll go away. This is probably the most moralistic thing Stephen King ever did. Everyone pays for their sins on Little Tall Island and for some of the residents the price is their lives. It's not a bit scary but there is enormous tension. You know right away whose child is going to be taken but it's fun watching the residents damn themselves even further with their decision. This is not going to make the top five best things that Stephen King has ever done but it's worth watching on a stormy night when you're at home alone.
