Should say if I could give this a 5.5 rather than a full 5 or 6 then I would. The story of this movie is bland and forgettable, the basic plot of killing someone and being consumed by visual representations of guilt is done to death (haha) and was not innovated upon much here. I did like the story of the son but the film would have been far more interesting if that plot were focused on more. Although the designs of certain '''hauntings''' are pretty impressive and the acting definitely has talent behind it, I'm sure this tale would have been better kept in the books.

1922 is a type of movie which some viewers will like and some will not. Movie was different and the Thomas Jane's acting and portrayal of the difficult role of Wilfred James was exceptional. The story goes will in the first half but in second half it appeares to be building up some momentum but never delivers. There was some problem with pacing and editing. Film could have been more short. Overall, I can say that it was different experience watching this movie. Will not say that I enjoyed it but yes it was a different one.

I thought the acting was great, and they did a great job in the props department with really making it look like 1922 without worrying about a budget. If there was a tight budget, it sure fooled me! That being said, the movie felt a bit tired and draggy at times, which ultimately left ME feeling tired by the end.

Decent enough crime thriller of one man's decent after the murder of his wife.

I like 1922. it was a good story about how greed can turn you insane and ruin your life the lives of the people around you

Actually a pretty good movie. The acting, the pacing, the photography, the music, etc. There is not a single low note in this movie. Will start following this director.

1922 is watchable enough, helped tremendously by solid production and strong lead performances. It's a slow burner though, with nothing of substantial surprise or deviancy to really provide any lasting impact. One for fans of the source material, perhaps, but it does little to really captivate.

Decent take on the novella by King. The story's descriptions is what made the it so good and it didn't translate that well into a movie. I didn't care for the actor's voice-over narration at all either. Lots of times it made me cringe...

1922 is not only of Netflix's original best movies it's also one of the best adaptation of Stephen King's works. With magnificent acting performances, great cinematography, likeable and despicable characters and impressive practical effects, this is one of the best films I've seen in a while.

It was a decent movie, nothing to write home about but it was interesting. If you liked King's novella you're gonna love this one.

Egyik legjobban sikerült King-adaptáció. A Netflix sorozatok/filmek alapból nagyon jól teljesítenek és ez is "kötelező megnézni" kategóriába tartozik. Az "It" és a "Gerald’s Game" adaptációk mellett ezt se hagyjátok ki.

Good movie that stays relatively true to the original story, apart from the very end scene when I was expecting the Ghost Busters theme to play (but the original one - I'm not that mean). Very good lead actor, but they should have gotten into his head a bit more for his reasoning behind the crime - it was ultimately an evil act, but hearing the his thoughts in the written version made me understand - if not sympathise - his crime a little more. Overall I found it a very enjoyable film - a horror that gets under your skin without forcing jump scares down your throat every five minutes. The cheesy ending didn't change anything important about how the story ultimately ends, though I do feel that people might find it all a bit dull if they haven't read King's version first.

The acting and cinematography were so great in this movie. I was hoping for it to be a little bit more creepy and scary, only because that's what I perceived we were going to get from the trailers. I didn't read the novella from Steven King but for me, it lands in the good category of Steven King adaptations. If you like some creepiness sprinkled in it and great acting then you should check it out.

A pretty good thriller and this is one of the most interesting and original Netflix productions. Huge applause for the main male role - it is a really well made character with depth.

1922 lacks the polish and all around cred of Gerald's Game, but it still can hold its own as a nice piece of dark and seedy moralizing late at night. Thomas Jane is kinda terrible in this, but not in a way that ruins the movie necessarily. He's a good enough actor, but his accent is not held in check, he chews every word of every sentence as if it's fried and corn fed and his dirt limned constantly makes him seem like a mud man - it constantly takes you out of the movie. This is a fairly straightforward story for the most part, but these stand out as egregious compared to the rest. The whole film could have used a touch more of the surreal, more psychology from the imagery and the presentation, but it still works and its minor flourishes are fine. The rats are all professional, and do their parts with aplomb. Not much CGI detected. That's always a win.

This is quite a slow movie. Most of the movie nothing happens and a lot of scenes are mood builders. Being sort of a psychological horror movie it does get under your skin and becomes quite disturbing from time to time. Acting is ok but the performance from the female lead shines brighter then the rest. Overall its an ok movie that would have been better with better acting and directing.

At its core this is very much a rendition of the classic Poe story called A Tell Tale Heart which, honestly, is quite appropriate seeing that King is this generation’s Edgar Allen Poe. Like Poe, King’s tales can and will continue to haunt us for centuries to come well after his own demise. In this case, the beating heart is replaced by rats and they sure make themselves known. For more go to ****

In what I think was the 4th Stephan King movie released this year, I enjoyed 1922 by the end of it all. Its a period piece, amplified by fantastic props and chilling vibes. Thomas Jane stars in one of the best roles I've seen him in years

I think the acting was great in this movie. Especially the main character. All of the character's really. Very tragic..... nice cinemetograpy. Like.

A very ominous, atmospheric, and haunting film. Some outstanding acting by Thomas Jane with complete character dedication. Outstanding rural visuals, and all in all a great King adaptation. I was very surprised by just how effectively brutal this was. Definitely one of the better netflix original films.

Great movie, wasnt expecting anything and I ve got the best thriller/horror I ve seen this year. Its kinda in the verge of those two genres, I absolutely love how it handles supernatural events, they are perfectly fed, not made pointless by overuse, which is sadly very common these days. I wouldnt say its particularly scary, but there were two bone chilling scenes (first look into the well and the basement). Couldnt recite anything bad about the movie, maybe I ll bump it up to a nine, even the ending is fine.

This move was well-made, well-acted and overall well done. For me, it's difficult to enjoy movies where things just get worse and worse for the protagonist. It works for short stories but for a full-length movie it gets tiresome.

IT, Gerald's Game, and now 1922, This year has given us three great Stephen King film adaptations that have succeeded because the people behind them realized it's the story and characters that are important, not just the concept. Something that has always been the case when the author's works have made the jump to movie format. As far as that goes, 1922 might just be the best of the three. It's incredibly compelling, dark, and intelligent. A horror movie for the thinking man. The story has a great way of getting under your skin. It's pretty slow-burn. We witness a man murder his wife and suffer the consequences of his sin. The movie takes the time to let us see how everything comes together, so that way it means more when everything falls apart. 1922 is subtly unnerving in it's quietness. The way it lets the tension build makes the more visceral thrills and gore all the more effective. There's an emotional gut punch brought on by just how well-acted and believable our leads are. Thomas Jane gives what is undoubtedly the best performance of his career in his third Stephen King adaptation, this one being the best of the bunch and easily his best movie thus far. This could very well open a door for him into more critically successful work in the future as he has really shown more talent here than one would likely expect looking back at his prior works. 1922 is a dark, gothic tale of deserved punishment. One where the characters are so human, and the situation so real, that one can't help but be **** in by the power of it. The way the supernatural elements are handled make you wonder whether or not Jane is actually being haunted, or if the guilt and stress of what he's done is just driving him mad. The whole thing us very reminiscent of Poe's "The Tell-tale Heart" and other works of gothic fiction. There's both a brain and a beating heart behind the events you'll witness here, and witness them you should. 1922 is an incredible treat for horror fans because it's such a thoughtful work that takes the time to do things right. Every element is in place and masterfully crafted. Director Zak Hilditch should be applauded. He's created an incredible film and hands down one of the best adaptations of a Stephen King story. It's gripping all the way through. 9.9/10

From the compilation Full Dark No Stars, arrives the fourth film adaptation of Stephen King this year and like what happened with It and Gerald's Game, 1922 turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Full Dark, No Stars is a compilation of four novellas, two of those stories have already been adapted with very poor results, so I must say that I had my doubts about this one, especially since the four stories are pretty good, but like many times before when it comes to adapt King's stories for various reasons they don't end up working. But 1922 follows exactly the source material and it really gets into the plot of guilt and rage that hit the main character incarnated by an excellent Thomas Jane, there is a constant tension while we see a man corroded and consumed by his sins. 1922 it's a dark story, but it's not a story that falls into the cheap scare because that is not its demagrophic, this is a slower story, more inclined towards psychological torture instead of graphics depictions of violence. I don't want to tell more because the interesting thing is to live the experience of the story, I repeat, it's a bit slow, I admit that I did not like that very much because there are certain parts where the fluidity of the narrative stops too much, but in general that rhythm has its reason because as I said 1922 is a psychological horror film, there are no twists, no shockers, no scare jumps, what keeps you interested is the story and in my opinion it is worth it. Another good result for Netflix this year and fortunately another good addition for King's legacy beyond literature.
