Day 18 of my 31 day horror film binge. A good Stephen King one. Needful Things.
When you have Ed Harris, Max Von Sydow and Bonnie Bedilia as your main cast you are getting a good film. Set in Castle Rock this centres around a mysterious individual who opens up what appears to be a run of the mill antique store, but the items are unique and are exactly what people are looking for. Rather than accepting cash payments he sets each individual a task. Each task seems innocent enough but the man has an ulterior motive and what starts out as a game soon descends into murder as each individual turns on another. Ed Harris is the sheriff who has to find out exactly what is happening in the town, and try to put a stop to it. A firm 8 out of 10 for this one.
