Review of The Dark Half

While I still say that "The Shining" is the best adaptation of a Stephen King novel, "The Dark Half" is still worth seeing. As it is, both stories deal with people's good and evil sides. I also wonder whether or not King took part of his inspiration here from Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds"; I mean, don't the sparrows come across as pretty menacing? Overall, while it's no masterpiece, George Romero accomplished something really neat here. It just might make you want to question your own desires. I've actually read the part of the book where they find the one body (you'll know what I mean when you see the movie); naturally, the book makes it much more graphic. Starring Timothy Hutton, Amy Madigan, Michael Rooker, Julie Harris and Beth Grant.

By the way, do you notice what number appears in the IMDb registration for this movie?
