Halloween Horror Movie #2:

I SEE YOU: Probably the easiest way to explain this movie would be: "Estranged by an affair, a married couple and their teenage son begin to experience weird occurrences around their house while the husband, a police detective, begins to investigate the possible return of a serial killer." To say much more about the plot would spoil the twists and turns that the movie takes and, to be honest, that might be the only reason to take this ride. This movie seems to have split audiences quite a bit between people who love it and those decidedly don't. I somehow fall right in the middle. The film is quite ambitious in what it is trying to accomplish and I appreciate the big swings it takes. Unfortunately, some of these twists make some of the characters make decisions that don't quite make sense in the moment. Couple this with the fact that the movie moves at a breakneck pace, the movie starts to show its cracks. If the movie had just taken its time to build up some of the families' motivations better, I'd have walked away being able to give this a higher recommendation. As it is, its worth a watch on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Grade: C

Craig: Mr. Harrigan, has anyone ever tried to take advantage of you? How'd you deal with that?
Mr. Harrigan: Harshly.

Yes! When I mentioned this movie screams SK those scenes are what I am referring to.

People equate King with scares, but, to me, the scenes of Craig and Harrigan sitting around talking were the best parts. King excels at dialogue and relationships, and this film was a perfect example. I really enjoyed it.

Thanks for talking up MR. HARRIGAN'S PHONE....I had no idea this was available already. Netflix puts out these movies with absolutely no fanfare, advertising, or publicity. I couldn't even FIND it on Netflix until I did a search. Netflix should pretty much know my viewing habits by now, so I expected this to pop right up, but, no....I had to search for it.

Solid film! Great performances, and an engaging story. Typical King, in a good way.

Mr. Harrigan's Phone. 4 out of 5 stars.

Solid film all the way around. This screamed SK to me and it was so very well done. The lead actor was fantastic. Donald Sutherland was cast perfectly and the rest of the supporting cast fit their roles very well. Atmospheric, thoughtful, and suspenseful.

Yes, a very well done movie. I was hesitant myself because I enjoyed the story. Highly recommended.
