This is usually a forgotten adaptation of Stephen King's books. Although I've never read the book I do really like the movie and consider it one of the best movies inspired by his work.

Although I've never read the book I do really like the movie and consider it one of the best movies inspired by his work. The late and great Max Von Snydow (Exorcist) stars as pretty much the devil. A deceitful, manipulative man who opens up a antique shop in a small town that offers anyone who comes in exactly what they are looking for. But there is a price and in mist instances it seems like something inconsequential from breaking windows to writing fake tickets. But all of the actions have horrific consequences as arguments escalate leading to murder. Handsome Ed Neil, Amanda Plummer and Bonnie Bedelia also star. The movie has a dark sense of humor and the horror is playful and twisted. Although it seems that the people are easily manipulated I definitely think the movie expresses that something supernatural is at play. It's fun, weird and creepy so if you haven't seen it, it's definitely worth a watch.
