1922 is an admirable film adaptation of a Stephen King novella that makes substantial something that probably wasn't. Greed & murder are the ingredients in this seamy stew. Taking elements from disparate sources as Graveyard Shift & Dolores Claibourne, the story doesn't exactly tread new ground but it does stand as a solid genre piece letting the director get his foot in the door.

The plot has been well covered in the other reviews, but here is my problem with it. Wilfred and his son murder the wife/mother and throw her body with a suitcase of her clothes in a well. We see it in the well being eaten by rats and then it had a dead cow on top of it. The story was very depressing and dark, but it was the end that was awful. The sheriff shows up and tells Wilf that his wife's body was found along side a rode with her suitcase and she must have been picked up by a stranger and killed. Wait - What? We saw them throw her in a well. So none of it happened? I really felt I had wasted my time watching this mess.

Ok to pass some time but really not great, not terrible either. Very average, characters are neither bad nor great.

This movie is a fantastic story telling based movie great acting amazing horror drama aspect from the greatest writer himself Stephen Kingoverall an amazing masterpiece really enjoyed this movie
