1922 Reviews
The performances are great from top-to-bottom...this was a movie that probably should have been on the big screen.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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]

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

[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.
