The concept seemed col and the film's start was compelling, but about 30 minutes into it the film gets really really schizophrenic and is hard to care any more. Too bad. Acting was good but the directing or the script or both is thin..

Worth the watch. But not for the Marvel/Star Wars crowd. As you can probably tell from the reviews, there were not enough explosions or CGI to keep most people entertained.

Well, this is a weirdly interesting movie which makes it entertaining. Psychological and intense, this movie makes you want to look away, but you don't. You can't because you don't want to miss anything.

Just like Death Note, Gerald's Game is a film that couldn't be released in theaters because it takes a story that just doesn't fit a one-off feature film format. Gerald's Game does have good moments, but the ending is where the film becomes an exposition-ridden slog that becomes the archetypal cliche-ridden Stephen King fest (the IT-mini-series, Children of the Corn, The Lawnmower Man and so on) we've seen again and again.Child abuse? Check. Questionable husband? Check. Tormented woman whose backstory and revelation is shoehorned into the ending of the story? Check. Ominous monster whom we don't know anything about (basically a psychological IT)? Double-check.Bottom-line, I don't think this comes even close to 2017's other Stephen King adaptation: IT. Gerald's Game squanders its potential and the ending's dependence on easily resolving childhood trauma with some ominous being just seemed... unbelievably hokey to me. Trauma's never that easy to get over; it requires something way less binary and obvious.This straight-to-web film gets 2.5/5 stars.
