The PlaylistAndrew CrumpOct 18, 2017
1922 is a ghastly slow burner, not the kind where nothing happens until the last ten minutes, but rather the kind that layers minor incident upon minor incident until they tally up to something major. Read full review

It helps that Hilditch has Jane in the central role. Along with Carla Gugino’s turn in Gerald’s Game, Netflix has two of the strongest performances in any King adaptation to date. Read full review

A movie that veers off the track of slow burn into turgid pacing a few too many times to be entirely effective. Read full review
