Set in King’s beloved Maine in a pleasant neighborhood reminiscent of “Carrie” and “It,” A Good Marriage focuses on Darcy (Joan Allen, “ The Bourne Legacy”) and Robert (Anthony LaPaglia, “Without a Trace” TV series) Anderson, the happy couple with everything - a nice house, plenty of money, beautiful children, professional success, good hobbies and a 25th wedding anniversary attended by friends and family. With such famous associations as “The Shining,” “ Carrie,” “Misery,” “Salem’s Lot,” “Pet Cemetery” as well as “The Shawshank Redemption” and “The Green Mile,” not to mention television horror “It,” “The Tommyknockers” and “The Stand,” the King brand is one that continues to carry weight and recognition.Ī Good Marriage is unlikely to achieve the classic status of “Misery” or “The Shining,” but it still manages to evoke decent tension and effectively convey a sense of the terrible amidst the mundane. The name “Stephen King” is synonymous with horror and indeed with movies in general. ![]()
