Welcome to Castle Rock, Maine, a lovely place to live... if you don't mind selling your soul! Acting greats Ed Harris (The Abyss) and Max Von Sydow (Three Days of the Condor) head an exceptional cast that includes Bonnie Bedelia (Die Hard I & II), J. T. Walsh (Breakdown) and Amanda Plummer (Pulp Fiction) - in this supernatural thriller that's dark, haunting and a hell of a good scare. Sheriff Alan Pangborn (Harris) has a devil of a problem: Suddenly all the residents of his sleep little town are dying... to kill each other. But at least business is still booming, especially at a new antique store. The shop's mysterious owner (Von Sydow) has something for everyone, and his prices are always reasonable: just one small favor... eternal damnation! Stylishly directed by Fraser C. Heston (The Crucifer of Blood) with a screenplay by W.D. Richter (Brubaker) based on the book by Stephen King (The Shining).

A great satire on materialism. Prefer the TV cut and good to see a HD version.
