Cleaver in the head, gunshots wounds, skinned dog. Heston infuses the film with lots of energy. He begins with a wonderful aerial shot and never lets up. Impressive, it s his directorial debut. Some King films hit, others miss.
Needful Things hits.
It s well written, funny, dark, violent and always on the move. It boasts an excellent cast and his well directed. If watching two priest duke it out, JT Walsh lose his marbles or a town go to hell appeals to you, rent this. It has that to offer and lots more. That extra hour gives the character of Cora the screentime she deserves and we get to see her love scene with that other King Elvis that is .
