I went into The Life of Chuck knowing nothing about it other than it being a Stephen King novella.
I assumed the movie was going to be horror, and I was so wrong, in the best way. Mike Flanagan was a director I was unfamiliar with as well - so my expectations were really empty.
That being said - The Life of Chuck took the beats of what makes a great horror film - fleshed out and relatable characters with a unique and mysterious situation to put them in.
I want to leave my critique relatively vague as I believe the hook of the film works best going in without knowing much.
I left the film feeling a mix of joy and melancholy and appreciated the artistry that brought me there.
I do recommend.
