The Dark Half

A writer fakes a murder to kill off his alter ego in a horror movie with a killer cast.

Why watch this film?

Two masters of horror, together: George A. Romero adapting a book written by Stephen King. That alone is reason enough to watch the movie. The script is also well rounded, in addition to a good performance by Timothy Hutton in the role of the troubled protagonist.
