Based on a book by Stephen King, The Dark Half is a suspenseful thriller. Timothy Hutton plays both parts of “normal” Beaumont and “hard core” Stark. This has been done in many films and in it is done well. As with all horror and supernatural films there needs to be a suspension of belief, what happens in the film may be possible in the universe it is written and portrayed.
When Beaumont was a child a tumor was removed. What was found was not a tumor but an unformed twin fetus. What if that unborn fetus still had a personality that remained in Beaumont and desperately wanted to separate and become an individual?
Watch The Dark Half and find out.
