The TVI Take
Mary Lambert's 1989 Stephen King adaptation — the source novelist's own least-favorite published work and the film he initially refused to permit. The structural commitment to letting parental-grief specificity (the death of a young son, the moral collapse of the father) be the actual subject is rare horror cinema.
The Zelda flashback sequence is canonical 1980s horror-film design.
