The Dark Half (1993), directed by George A. Romero, Shout! Factory remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including 5.1 remaster, original theatrical stereo, director's commentary track, and English subtitles. IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106664/ Video encoded in two-pass 14.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned. Note : Stephen King, nowadays everyone's favorite liberal boomer uncle on the Internet, writes what he knows, and even though no one gets hit by a van, that's also the case with this story about an author who wants to ditch his association with pulpy, violent genre fare and focus on the prestigious. It doesn't work out too well, of course, and George A. Romero gives us some nasty kills, gory effects, and a pretty good adaptation of the story, although it's not overly scary at any point. Timothy Hutton is quite good in a dual role as mild-mannered literature professor and cowboy boot wearing, straight razor wielding, greaser bad guy, this being a King story, everything is as it was in the fifties. The rest of the cast includes Amy Madigan, our old friend Michael Rooker, with not that much to do, Julie Harris, Robert Joy, Chelsea Field, and Royal Dano in his final film appearance. Well worth it for Romero and/or King fans, at the very least, and a decent piece of entertainment in general. Thad Beaumont is a serious novelist who's better known for writing a series of ultra-violent suspense potboilers under the pen name George Stark. Wanting to be seen as even more serious and stuck-up, he decides to retire the Stark alias, and stages a photo op with a fake gravestone with Stark's name on it. However, the next morning, the spot where the fake gravestone was is now the site of what looks like an open grave, and soon people around Beaumont start dying, since it seems Stark isn't quite ready to be retired. There's some business with Beaumont having had a parasitic twin in his brain when he was a child, which gives Romero a chance to show some brief but nasty body horror, and sparrows being psychopomps, but mostly it's just about a serial killer tulpa fucking people up, and that's good enough for me. A pretty middle of the road transfer here, I think a telecine, but it's not got the worst deficiencies of telecine transfers, though the colors and contrast are slightly anemic, it's not very clean, and grain is pretty uneven. 5.1 track sounds good, as does the original stereo, and any commentary track with Romero himself is well worth listening to.
