TITLE Dark Half, The (1993)

ALT__TITLE

DISABILITY Amputee General Brain tumour VERY MINOR

COUNTRY USA

LENGTH 122

GENRE Horror

DIRECTOR George A. Romero

CAST Timothy Hutton

Amy Madigan

Julie Harris

NOTES The film begins with a young man getting headaches. A brain

tumour is suspected. In hospital when his skull is opened are

found the remains of what had been a twin when in the womb.



Time jumps 20 years and the young man, Thad, is now a very

successful horror writer writing under a pseudonym. People

connected to him are being murdered and he is the suspect

(his fingerprints are found at the crime scenes).

For once I won't give away what happens. This is Romero

(disappointingly) and Stephen King joined at the hip.

One of the victims is an old man who as he is dragged out of

his pick-up loses his artificial leg (below the knee amputee).
