Needful Things Ratings & Reviews
jackmeat
December 25, 2024
My quick rating - 6,3/10. Another decent but not spectacular Stephen King adaptation.
Chicago Tribune
Clifford Terry
This is pulp moviemaking at its worst.
Hartford Courant
Owen McNally
One of those far too rare Stephen King movies you can sit through without feeling as if you've been condemned to purgatory for a couple of hours.
F5 (Wichita, KS)
Jake Euker
Overlong, over-produced Stephen King byproduct. Forget it along with Firestarter, In the Mouth of Madness, Maximum Overdrive, and all the others.
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux
Max von Sydow has some good lines, but he delivers them in an utter vacuum.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
I needed to get out of this thing long before the insipid finale.
Apollo Guide
Ryan Cracknell
Save your soul for something more important.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
One of Stephen King's better film adaptations
Matinee Magazine
Chuck Rudolph
A fine adaptation of one of Stephen King's best novels, it almost manages to surpass the book solely on the strength of Von Sydow's glowering villainy.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Needful Things is yet another one of those films based on a Stephen King story that inspires you to wonder why his stories don't make better films.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Pop "Needful Things" into your player with no particular expectations and you might find it a worthwhile distraction.
