Why it’s HorroRated
Gerald's Game is Mike Flanagan proving that a seemingly unfilmable King novel is possible through formal confidence and absolute trust in his lead. Carla Gugino does the most demanding work of her career across two states of consciousness simultaneously. The Moonlight Man sequence is as effective a piece of horror as the decade produced. An exceptional film.
Synopsis
Mike Flanagan adapts the King novel with a formal challenge that requires Carla Gugino to carry most of the film alone, and she does. The Moonlight Man sequence is as effective a piece of horror as the decade produced. An exceptional film.
