This one is a two-parter (made for TV), so break out the popcorn, and get ready for a great ride. Who is the strange man that comes to town, and tells the townsfolk that if they give him what he wants... he'll leave.
No spoilers here; however, this is a typical Seven King movie where no one is safe... even the main characters. It also takes place on a small island on the East Coast, where the (snow) storm of the century is about to occur. I know this is lite on details; however, if you're a SK fan, I think you'll enjoy the journey.
The first problem I had with this movie was,,, Of all those church folks not one of them knew my Lord well enough to simply say, "Satan, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ."
Accepting that there was not a single real Christian in the bunch I also know that Satan is an eternal being and the thought of him needing to train a replacement is stupid.
Other than that it was a great movie.
The final scene so far from the island when he sees his son turn and give him that look was priceless.
Stupid and illogical but this is a movie,,, priceless.
The island of Little Tall appears to be the idyllic fishing community whose citizens are moral and upright. However, on the eve of a disastrous Winter storm, an evil, omnipresent creature visits the townspeople. He knows their darkest secrets and exposes them for what they truly are: hypocrites. Calling himself Andre Linoge, he uses his supernatural powers to isolate the island from the rest of the world and force its citizens to commit suicide one by one. All the while he continues to make one cryptic demand: "Give me what I want and I'll go away." Constable Michael Anderson rushes to find out what this creature wants before the entire community vanishes forever as did the Roanoke Colony in 1590.
"Storm of the Century" is my favorite Stephen King miniseries. The small, isolated island is the perfect setting for claustrophobic terror. Two-hundred people are trapped and at the mercy of a diabolical creature whose origin is never fully understood. Is Andre Linoge a demon or an alien?
With his strong, chiseled face, Colm Feore ("Chronicles of Riddick") gives an excellent performance as Andre Linoge. Tim Daly ("Private Practice" television series) is wonderful as the likeable Michael Anderson. Debrah Farentino is perfect as his stubborn wife, Molly, who opposes him. The entire cast, including many extras, was well chosen and made me feel as if they were an actual community of fishermen.
Perhaps the citizens of Little Tall represent mankind in general. After all, don't we all have dark secrets we don't want revealed? This miniseries is very provocative. How would we react in a similar situation? Would we give the creature whatever he wanted so that he would go away? I would hope that I would side with Michael Anderson. Yes, Andre Linoge is a creature that is more powerful than a man, but he is also less than a god as he clearly stated. Therefore, he can be defeated. Also, where is the people's faith that the God of all creation can help them? When facing a moral crisis, humans sometimes disregard their values. I have learned that choosing to do right can sometimes be very difficult.
"Storm of the Century" is highly recommended for all Stephen King fans. It is a superb example of modern gothic horror. Andre Linoge is not the only one who knows how to exploit our fears. So does Stephen King who's been doing it for more than thirty years.
