1922
October 20, 2017  | By David Bianculli  | 1 comment

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

 

TELEMOVIE PREMIERE:  This new made-for-Netflix is the latest in this year’s aggressive resurgence of movie and TV adaptations of works by Stephen King. This one, based on his novella, is set in that year and in the years afterward, showing the long-term effects of a plot by a farmer and his son to kill someone close to them. It’s part The Tell-Tale Heart (with its tale of madness after murder) and, with its abundance of rats, a bit like another Edgar Allan Poe short story, The Pit and the Pendulum. Thomas Jane (pictured) and Dylan Schmid play the farmer and his son, with Molly Parker as the farmer’s wife and Neal McDonough as an enviably wealthy neighbor. 1922 plays like an extended episode of Tales from the Crypt – and if approached that way, is lots of fun.

You will discover obviously quite a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That´s a great point to bring up. I will offer you the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly you will discover questions like the one you bring up where the most important factor definitely will be working in honest very good faith. I don´t know if greatest practices have emerged around things like that, but I am certain that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.
