1922 Reviews

The performances are great from top-to-bottom...this was a movie that probably should have been on the big screen.

| Mar 24, 2023

1922 is a new type of Stephen King movie, executed with as much artistic inventiveness as passionate faithfulness.

| Mar 10, 2023

1922 is an effective, chilling bit of work that boasts a revelatory lead performance and a compelling, gradual erosion of a man's psyche.

| Mar 10, 2023

Ultimately, 1922 is not an earth-shattering film, but it’s a solid, well-crafted story featuring strong performances and a few moments of ick that will get under viewers’ skin.

“1922” is a movie that gets under your skin. It maintains a menacing vibe from start to finish without ever relying on overused gimmicks or formulas.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 24, 2022

1922 unsettles more than it scares and seeks to be a slow-burner, which is refreshing but it is marred by the tedious pace. '1922' is also too character-driven for its own good.

For those King fans who know nothing is more horrifying than the horrors of man, 1922 delivers a mix between There Will Be Blood and Edgar Allen Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart, featuring Jane at his darkest and most disturbing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 22, 2020

1922 is easily the finest Stephen King film this year, and among the finest in recent memory.

| Apr 22, 2020

For fans of King, ghost stories, and small-scale cinema, 1922 is a real gem.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 9, 2019

Almost unanimous praise aside, I will say that 1922's final chapter does run a tad too long...but what it does capitalize on is the root and themes of King's best works.

1922 works well as a physical representation of the guilt that consumes the protagonist. [Full Review in Portuguese]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 3, 2019

The premise of 1922 isn't as instantly catchy as Gerald's Game or as flashy as It, but the adaptation is successful - I could hear Stephen King's voice coming through loud and clear.

| Aug 26, 2019

In cinemas, it might have been overshadowed by flashier rivals, but perhaps, on demand, this slow, but winningly bleak little tale will find the audience it deserves.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 26, 2019

It is a tale of human guilt, divine consequence, and good old fashioned King-ly horror, with a performance by Thomas Jane that only solidifies his standing as a leading actor who Hollywood continues to underappreciate.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 26, 2019

1922 is a compelling and gripping look at murder, the act and the aftermath, and its simplicity helps propel it in to one of the most sophisticated Stephen King cinematic adaptations.

| Aug 26, 2019

It's a cheeseburger that knows it's a cheeseburger, and it's a blast.

| Aug 23, 2019

Its suspense treatment and simple and clear proposal deserve all the attention. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Aug 7, 2019

It's what comes after that killing that leads into 70 additional minutes of horror and misfortune for the James family.

| Aug 26, 2018

[If] you're looking for something engaging or haunting, 1922 is about as barren as Wilfred's fallow fields.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 24, 2018

It may not be particularly original, but the details are well-realized, and the film moves along at a brisk pace. A minor King adaptation, perhaps, but a good one.
