MAINELY OUTSTANDING
|
| Ever wonder what Alfred Hitchcock would have done with material written by Stephen King? "Dark Half" may be the closest we'll ever come to finding out. But,whereas in Hitchcock's "The Birds" (1963) we see nature on the rampage with Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor merely being in the wrong place at the wrong time,in "Dark Half " nature is employed as a useful vehicle, gorging Timothy Hutton's hidden half and finallly returning it to Satan,from whence the original body tissue came. Director Romero does an excellent job of reproducing Hutton's hidden "twin" who sprang to life as an alias,protecting a young college professor's true identity. But,devilry often seems to feed upon itself, especially here when Hutton goes on writing binges which satiate his dark side on paper, but also fuel the flames of his "twin". The repellent violence does become a bit much at times, and this is certainly no film for youngsters.But,"Dark Half" is, and will always be a first rate horror movie. |
