This has to be one of the worst horror movies I've seen. While the lead actress is good at what she does, the script is just beyond mind-numbingly boring and almost every conversation feels irrelevant and bland.Who wants to spend 2 hours listening to an over-the hill married couple arguing about nonsense? Not me, that's for sure.I really recommend everyone to not waste their time on this movie.
During my blast of reading all that was Stephen King in the mid-90's, I remember this novel as being the latest, up to that point, piece of writing I got my hands on before going into retirement as it were. I remember the yarn being well told but as you read most of King's output you start getting set pieces or plot through lines you've read before. Rabid dog on the loose, Cujo, check, incapacitated bed occupant, Misery, check & traumatic event occurring on the day of a solar eclipse, Dolores Clairbourne, check anew. We now have the filmed version of Gerald's Game whereby a loveless married couple trying to rekindle their union w/a pair of handcuffs soon open the floodgates of calamity & terrifying claustrophobia. Sparsely acted & directed, the film works in fits & starts w/the bedroom scenes near soundless except for the seemingly unending dialogue which paints things a little much the obvious. The denouement involving a mysterious bogeyman feels forced & unnecessary given everything else which has come before that it threatens to capsize the entirety of the exercise.
I was expecting an escape movie where the woman will try to figure out how to survive and escape. Instead of that, a long introspection movie, not my thing at all
This movie has quiet a few good moments but couple of bad ones too. Couldve easily gave it a higher rating.The make up team did an amazing job with the special fx. One of the best ive seen in a while. It builds up pretty well and keeps you curious all the way till the end. However, i cant say i loved the ending. It was very unclear how the director wanted the finish the movie. It was almost as if they couldnt decide and just threw things at you.Husband cuffs his wife to bed to spice up their sex life but then dies all of a sudden. Shes stuck on the bed in a remote house with no help. She slowly goes crazy while trying to stay alive.
