The Dark Half

There are very good reasons to be afraid of the dark.

MysteryHorror

Following the public's realization that Thad Beaumont and George Stark are one and the same, the former stages a mock funeral, only for a series of gruesome murders to begin occurring as in his books.

Why watch The Dark Half

A strong, reliable pick for tonight. Delivers exactly what you'd expect from the genre with solid execution. Pour a drink, dim the lights, and let the opening scene pull you in — this one earns your evening. Expect the kind of story that lingers after the credits roll, the kind you'll want to text a friend about before bed.

A visually spectacular ending, but one that delivers little in the way of answers, and doesn't change a so-so beginning and middle of a film in any way that's meaningfully satisfactory. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
