For a long time now, Matt and I have been wanting to do one massive retrospective that would seem to keep building and building to an unknown number. For awhile, it was looking like Marvel was going to be that series. But after Jack and company did their three hour show on it a couple years ago, that idea went out the door. So what could we do that would could take the place of what we originally had in mind? Enter the works of Stephen King. Often called a master of horror, sometimes called a trashy populist, there is no question that King has transcended horror, and made his own brand of fiction not only popular, but the most massively successful empire of published work of all time. But in order to review the entire run of King's film adaptations, we must first look at the very first published novel of King's career, and the films it inspired.Stephen King may not have been in the stratosphere in 2013, but bullying was. Which is the angle that director Kimberly Pearce (Boys Don't Cry) takes while adapting this story that has been adapted two times already, with a 1999 sequel in tow as well. So how did this DePalma alum do in once again telling this story, and how does Chloe Grace Moretz do in filling the prom dress most famously worn by Sissy Spacek in the 1976 original? Listen below to find out. Join us next week as myself, Matt, and the returning Mik Duffy begin our look at the three iterations of The Thing with a review of 1951's The Thing From Another World. And come back soon, as we will be continuing our look at Stephen King adaptations with The Shining!Carrie (2013) (?/10, ?/10, ?/10)CLICK ABOVE TO LISTEN NOW!Subscribe to Binge Cast on iTunes
