I went into Chuck’s life knowing nothing about it except that it was a Stephen King novel. I assumed the film would be horror, and I was so wrong, in the best way possible.
Mike Flanagan was a director I didn’t know either – so my expectations were really low
That said – The Life of Chuck captured what makes a great horror film – developed, like-minded characters with unique and mysterious situations. I want to leave my review relatively vague because I think the hook of a film works best by going in without knowing much.
I recommend it
I left the film feeling a mix of joy and melancholy and appreciating the art that got me there.
