The Dark Half
Description
For years, writer Thad Beaumont (Timothy Hutton) has managed to subdue his "dark half", the side of his personality that lurks beneath the surface and allows him to create the blood-curdling stories that make readers cringe. But when Beaumont decides to write off those stories, he unwittingly initiates a bloody chain of events which only one half will survive! Masters of horror Stephen King (The Shining) and George A. Romero (Night of The Living Dead) combine their terrifying talents for this "gripping, creepy, frightening [film that] discovers new and inventive ways to scare the bejeezus out of us" (L.A. Reader)!
Hoping to distance himself from his murder novels - and George Stark, the name that he used to anonymously author them - Beaumont cooks up a murder of his own: a publicity stunt that should lay Stark to rest forever. But when the people around him are found gruesomely slain, and his own fingerprints dot the crime scenes, Beaumont realizes that Stark has taken on a life of his own - and begun a gruesome quest for vengeance!
Oscar winner Hutton shines in this nightmare vision that thrill, shocks, works us over" (Los Angeles Times) and delivers with on "intelligent screenplay, first-rate cast and exceptionally entertaining" premise (The New York Times)!
