4/5
In cinemas, it might have been overshadowed by flashier rivals, but perhaps, on demand, this slow, but winningly bleak little tale will find the audience it deserves. Go to Full Review
Brian Lowry CNN.com Oct 20, 2017
[1922] is a credible addition to a filmography where practically every thought the writer commits to paper is, seemingly, deemed fit for the screen. Go to Full Review

2/4
The familiar case of a short story stretched too thin in a feature film. Go to Full Review

The performances are great from top-to-bottom...this was a movie that probably should have been on the big screen. Go to Full Review
Zach Dionne Decider Mar 10, 2023
1922 is a new type of Stephen King movie, executed with as much artistic inventiveness as passionate faithfulness. Go to Full Review
Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut Mar 10, 2023
1922 is an effective, chilling bit of work that boasts a revelatory lead performance and a compelling, gradual erosion of a man's psyche. Go to Full Review

B P @Bradster69 1 day ago Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more stevie68a T @RT15696487 Sep 19, 2026 I think Thomas Jane is an excellent actor after seeing this film. All of the actors do a great job. See more michael E @RT33388193 Jul 27, 2026 Bit of a damp squib really - I only made it to the end in the hope of some twist or drama but it is slow and depressing and rather disappointing to be honest. See more J H @UpstateNYThriller Jul 22, 2026 7/10 Stephen king Farm Murder movie, cursed/haunted Husband kills wife and covers it up 7/10 See more JoeR D. @Daisan May 30, 2026 I think in order to give a movie 5 stars, it has to be a masterpiece. Which means there has to be an incentive to rewatch it. This movie is bleak and depressing, joyless and brutal; a stunning exposé on the effects of guilt on one’s sanity. In that way, I guess it is a masterpiece, just not one I see myself ever wanting to return to. A 4-star masterpiece indeed. And how appropriate that the book Will is reading is The House of the Seven Gables… See more Emmett B @RT39580862 May 17, 2026 A very disappointing film adapted from a Stephen King book. Stephen King adaptions are either hit or miss. With a lot on the miss side. I haven't read the book, and so don't know if this fairly reflects the book. The story starts out well enough and but builds ssslowly. Because of the pace this doesn't leave a lot of time for a middle to the film, ending when not a whole lot has happened. I did though, as I was in the house on my own, fall asleep facing (guarding) the bedroom door. See more Read all reviews
