When i was younger, i used to go to the local video rental shop and rent movies i haven't even heard before. Storm of the Century was no exception. I was looking for interesting movies and i got this movie in my hands. I read the description and thought "Wow... Almost 4,5 hours". The plot seemed interesting so i rented it and watched it. It was worth for every penny. Very slow story telling, thrilling atmosphere and Colm Feore's excellent performance was enough to give this movie 10/10. Movie this long has to be very interesting or you'll fall asleep before it reaches half way. Watching Storm of the Century 4,5 hours passes faster than you could ever think of.

In my opinion this is the best book-movie adaptation I have ever seen. Storm of the Century has an extraordinary screenplay. This is not a regular novel. Actually the origin of the book which was written by Stephen King was a scenario. Colm Feore acts amazing as "Andre Linoge". Nobody knows who is this guy and why is he here? Just a few suspense freak knows that movie; and that makes the movie more valuable. Just watch it there is no word to explain it.

It seemed long and drawn-out, and I didn't have much interest in watching a horror film for hours on end. When the first episode started, you were introduced to every-day life in the town and a murder that happened. But as the episode progressed, more and more mysteries popped up and into the second episode, a mysterious being emerged and made itself present to the town folk to demand something of them.This suspense was maintained throughout the second episode and into the third one, where there was a climactic ending. Overall, I'm glad I did watch it because it was enjoyable and suspenseful to the end. It didn't seem as long as it did, and well worth the watch if you're into mystery and horror. Good acting and highly entertaining.

He takes your soul and makes you realize that in reality we are all sinners so to speak and we all have to pay and be responsible for our actions in life. To me Stephen King knows how to look into the eyes of people and know exactly what they are thinking. This movie is one of those what would i do movies. and in reality the plot may be something we know may never happen in real life it, but it can be replaced with many day to day things we do and decisions we make and you can take many a problem and put it into this plot and you have a situation of what would i do. This is a long movie and it is good for the whole family to see. You may have to set 2 nights in a row to watch this unless you like sitting through long movies, which I love to do. And it is true we live our lives telling each other tale fables that help us get through life with all the baggage we carry and try to forget the people we hurt and the things we do to others and in the end what goes around comes around and in this movie he certainly lets us know we all have to revisit our past and make sure we take responsibility for our actions. and yes pushers get pushed in life. watch this movie and you will see how easy it is for us to forget our mistakes and have to make decisions that affect not only our lives but the lives of others. there is a lot to learn from this movie. not only the plot itself but to apply it to our everyday lives and decisions we make. thank you Stephen King for a job well done again.
