not bad

I was very sleepy watching it, maybe because it was too late, but it was indeed a good movie, especially in 1990, when the plot was tight enough and the classic horror atmosphere was rendered, it was much better than The Shining style, because The Shining is more Early, in terms of now, "Dangerous Times" is still a good movie worth watching. But it seems that my definition of a thriller is limited to the final reversal of the plot. I can guess the ending of this movie, and the rendering in it does not make me feel real horror, but it is Stephen King's work after all. It's a pity that unlike other thrillers, you need to watch a movie for 3 hours, and then watch the movie again, this one is not needed.

    Compared with Annie, the behavior of a domestic star kneeling to a certain star is only fifty steps and one hundred steps.

    Kathy Bates's yin and ruthlessness reminds me of the head nurse in "Left Over the Cuckoo's Nest". A Hollywood-style thriller with a standard algorithm, but with the theme of book fans manipulating the author, there are still twists and turns, including perverted psychological prying, and self-talk and self-deprecating masters.
