Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

oqawa This movie lived with me for weeks. It's very strong, very intense and will make you live the whole story in your imagination, I was looking at the reviews and I'm wondering why such a great masterpiece is underrated... it deserves more votes here, it deserves to be watched and the way the main actor tells the story is fantastic.

masonfisk 1922 is an admirable film adaptation of a Stephen King novella that makes substantial something that probably wasn't. Greed & murder are the ingredients in this seamy stew. Taking elements from disparate sources as Graveyard Shift & Dolores Claibourne, the story doesn't exactly tread new ground but it does stand as a solid genre piece letting the director get his foot in the door.

hristi_vasilev The movie starts with an older version of Jane's character writing down his story in a hotel room seemingly afraid of someone (or something) coming for him. A year prior to this, Wilfred's wife was given 100 acres of land by her father. His wife (played by Molly Parker) wants to sell the land and move to St. Louis and use the money to open up a dress shop. Wilfred is displeased with this news and objects to the suggestion since he sees this land as the perfect place. With both of them on opposite sides on what to do, Wilfred's wife suggests that they should just sell the land and split the profit 50/50 and get a divorce on the condition however that she takes their son with her in the city. It is made clear that they do not enjoy being together anymore as the tension slowly rises from the current events.Wilfred sees that his wife Arlene will not let up on her dreams and selling the farm so he devises a plan. He notices that his son has a liking to the neighbor's daughter and that he loves the farm almost as much as Wilfred himself does so he uses him and devises a plan to murder his wife and keep the farm for themselves.Overall the main plot of the film revolves around guilt. We see Wilfred as he tries do cope with the consequences of his actions and the guilt of his deeds. It shows in a fantastic way how one bad decision can ruin not only your life, but the life of everyone around you. The best part about this movie is definitely the acting. Thomas Jane delivers arguably his best performance as Wilfred, a man who seems like a stereotypical "dumb, clueless hillbilly" but is in fact a very terrifying, conniving and cunning individual. He captures his descent into madness perfectly. The cinematography was decent with some very gorgeous shots.The movie is nothing special or groundbreaking but it is still a fantastic film with grizzly and unsettling visuals. It is adapted from King's short story which means that it can be a bit stretched out at times. It captures the source material well but since it is in a different format the pacing is a bit off. But even with the slow pacing the movie did a great job being very tense from beginning to end.

joostkrijnmollen The movie 1922 - based on the Stephen King novella with the same name - starts of promising. We are shown a great field with corn, belonging to our main character Wilfred James and his wife Arlette, who inherited the land from her deceased father. Although the two have some problems concerning their marriage, the sheer amount of corn just makes more then up for it. The farmer and his wife posses corn as far as the eye can see. But after all that corn is harvested before the incoming winter, we don't see that corn ever again. I guess one could draw a parralel between the literal decline of the amount of corn - the one vegetable Wilfred loves so much he even kills his wife to prevend her from selling the land on which the corn resides - and the mental decline of Wilfred and the physical decline of the estate as the movie progresses along after Wilfred's sin, but who cares. I just wanna see more corn. I rate this movie six out of ten pieces of corn: not enough corn. Gosh darn I just love corn so much.
