Thanks to Bede for suggesting this film for the 90s Horror Movie Month, it was a great revisit and here’s my live tweets!
This film is one I haven’t seen for years! Looking forward to this rewatch #NeedfulThings
This film has a great cast and Amanda Plummer shows up yet again in my film watching #Yay #NeedfulThings
A new mysterious store in a small town? How dare they! #NeedfulThings
Why are small towns always so weird? Brrrr #NeedfulThings
And no one knows who is running the new store, the plot thickens #NeedfulThings
Max Von Sydow is such a charismatic actor, he commands the screen when he appears #NeedfulThings
I do like the premise of the film, a store that seems to have the desires that you most want … But with a heavy price 2 pay #NeedfulThings
The metaphor the price of consumerism? There is some good underlying themes in the film #NeedfulThings
Well clearly the nice man at the new store isn’t who he claims … Those long gross finger nails are a dead giveaway #NeedfulThings
Awww the late and great J.T. Walsh – he’s definitely missed. Always extremely entertaining #NeedfulThings
Naturally the Sheriff (Ed Harris) isn’t originally from the small town #NeedfulThings
The title of this film could easily apply to me and my doll collecting obsession. They are #NeedfulThings
Dammit Amanda Plummer you so cute in this film #NeedfulThings
The material objects you desire the most can easily consume you. This film definitely has that in mind #NeedfulThings
The Sheriff doesn’t desire anything since he has all he needs, he’s the enemy #NeedfulThings
I really like the look of the film and the soundtrack isn’t too shabby either #NeedfulThings
Awww Don S. Davis
Oh hey that looks like W. Morgan Sheppard! A classic ‘that guy’ actor #NeedfulThings
Pitting the towns folk against each other, this is madness! #NeedfulThings
I could do without the Billy Ray Cyrus music #NeedfulThings
Funny he doesn’t wanna display Say No To The Devil flyers in his store #BecauseHeIs #NeedfulThings
If I went to the #NeedfulThings store I would be walking out with everyone single Monster High and Ever After High doll
Seriously love J.T. Walsh in this! So cray cray with gambling #NeedfulThings
There’s some beautiful framing in the film and a great use of scenery and colour, it’s just very nice to look at #NeedfulThings
Pretty sure Max Von Sydow could play a statue for 2 hours and still be compelling #NeedfulThings
This is a fun film and a solid debut effort from the director too #NeedfulThings
Some of these scenes are so good, slow mo for a kid throwing apples to break windows and stuff in a house! Brilliant #NeedfulThings
It’s way too easy for the devil to mess with people, people are just insane lol #NeedfulThings
Wait the character is called Buster Keeton? As in reference to Buster Keaton? #NeedfulThings
I am loving some of the musical cues to certain scenes, adds a level of fun to it #NeedfulThings
They had to kill and skin the poor dog didn’t they? #NeedfulThings
The thing that is great is that the people who have issues with each other aren’t tormenting each other, other ones are. #NeedfulThings
This film has a strange way of using Ave Maria #NeedfulThings
The insanity is in full swing now #NeedfulThings
Just realized Polly in this film looked so familiar because she played the wife in Die Hard 1 & 2 #NeedfulThings
Fucking with people is basically the devils dessert #NeedfulThings
The dialogue isn’t great at some points but damn does Sydow sell it well #NeedfulThings
People can do such crazy things, one of the many themes of the film #NeedfulThings
Owwwwww mouse trap to the hand!!! #NeedfulThings
Out of town Sheriff knows something is up with the crazy town #NeedfulThings
Youth suicide even comes up in the film, heavy #NeedfulThings
This film has some genuine dark moments along with the humorous ones. Pretty good blend too #NeedfulThings
My head is killing me, I’m so tired and I can’t turn the film off, it’s just too enjoyable and interesting #NeedfulThings
Ed Harris really puts a lot into his role, always such a great actor #NeedfulThings
Ha Jesus reference! Now that was a cleverly written piece of dialogue #NeedfulThings
This may not be a top tier King adaptation but it is definitely up there as one if the good ones #NeedfulThings
I like that there is a good amount of build up, it’s paced well and it’s never boring. Two hours well spent #NeedfulThings
Sydow is definitely one of the great 90s horror villains, along with Jürgen Prochnow #NeedfulThings #InTheMouthOfMadness
I really love the lighting in this too, it’s just soo good and hard not to comment on #NeedfulThings
Ahhh newspaper headlines reveal the truth! #NeedfulThings
People want to believe the worst about other people, makes easy prey #NeedfulThings
Punch Buggie! #NeedfulThings
This film is actually better than I remember #NeedfulThings
Shit is about to get real crazy!!!! #NeedfulThings
J.T. Walsh crazy time! #NeedfulThings
“I killed my wife, is that wrong?” Quote of the movie and delivered so well by J.T. Walsh #NeedfulThings
The town is either better for what is happening or really fucked #NeedfulThings
Ah this film just gets so crazy! I love it #NeedfulThings
The devil, he’s a shit stirrer #NeedfulThings
Yup it’s crazy town, glad I ain’t there! #NeedfulThings
Oh Ed Harris, the only sane man in the crazy, like naturally #NeedfulThings
If Ed Harris says this shit stops now, you should bloody listen yo! #NeedfulThings
Dare I say the devil in this film is a metaphor for the big companies who have those needful things that send people in debt #NeedfulThings
The best crazy in this film is J.T. Walsh #NeedfulThings
Whoa that was an insane explosion! #NeedfulThings
Ah what a great way to spend my Friday night! #NeedfulThings
