I've seen this a dozen times and never tire of it. It's one of my favorite movies. I will curl up under a warm blanket and watch during inclement weather or a long, lazy weekend. I have the screenplay as well. Truly a masterpiece!!!
Same here, first time I saw it when I was a kid, scared me to heck. Then I enjoyed the movie while recovering from back surgery. The lanogliers i watched when recovering from knee surgery :) !
DEFINITELY TRUE! Probably in the 50 to 60 range over the years..big snow lover and add Stephen King to that and it's heaven! Leaves so much to think about, the difficulty of the decision, how poor Mike was alone in his opinion to stand against Linoge in one voice and say NO. For the most part, the town was full of "not so good" folks with checkered pasts and THEIR DECISION was the one that prevailed, not the good hearted, God fearing, least sinning Constable Anderson. I wonder what an alternate ending looks like if the town DOES stand against him? Our assumption would be that his power is negated when one voice trusting in God tells him GET THE FUCK OUT & WE'RE KEEPING OUR KIDS! Great great story by the master himself
I’ll die on this hill when I say Tim Daly should have won an Oscar or something for his performance. Tim brought elite acting to the table especially during the final act.
It would have been an emmy since this was a tv mini series, but he was perfect, he wasn't pure evil like "Randall Flagg", he truly fears mortality, its just his life is longer than the normal human. People could related to him from that perspective, but he was evil enough that we didnt totally sympathize with him
@@christopherfoley8322 Yeah!... King's character in this story was like Thomas's Harris's great character "Hannibal Lector" in that way. Both of these great American writers have stated in interviews that they read each other's work. I guess genius effects genius. But both these guys certainly write brilliant, three dimensional villains on their own.
The setting, the atmosphere, regardless of what’s happening makes me want to curl up by the fire. One of the best movies ever made. I don’t know why it’s such a sleeper. People are definitely missing out if they haven’t seen it. Thanks for the upload.
People don't like a story now days, it's all about hyper-masculine or hyper-feminine lead characters, woke dialogue, every identity represented, and a boat load of special effects.
I agree. I think it’s his best miniseries from the 90s: it’s got great acting, great cinematography and it’s bleak as hell. I think the rewatchability has to do with all those things, but also because of the setting and the general look of the film. The snowy, trapped on an island in Maine setting is appealing IMO. It also taps into the fear many of us with children all have, despite the actions of the townspeople. It’s just a well made, suspenseful and entertaining horror film from the master
One of my favorite Stephen King stories. It really rips the mask off people who everyone thinks are “perfect”, “normal” & who act like they have never done anything wrong. For a town, an entire town, to give up a child to a demon is mindblowing, a mob mentality in a time of crisis. The oldest human emotion is fear…the oldest human fear is fear of the unknown. The town gave into that fear, & sacrificed a child to a demon. When they stand before God, what will they say…
This IS NOT the original. It is SPED UP by 20-30 minutes. Voices are on helium. The original was recently removed from u-toob after being here over 10yrs.
This was so gorgeous, and so underrated. It's one of my favorite King movies -- and King works -- of all time. The performances (especially Tim Daly and Colm Feore) are fantastic, and the story is so much more than horror, but instead a diabolical examination of what people will do to save themselves as opposed to others. A terrific miniseries and so underrated. Kudos to all involved.
What is so very ironic...if Linoge was so omnipotent why couldn't he take one of the children. Because he couldn't. Only Michael saw that, but the others gave in to their own fear. As Molly said: 'you tricked us.'

Yes, do you know any other films like it? Aside from Rose Red, which has a similar intimacy with each character and a close sense of the community, a paranormal element to drive the story and the most watchable, poignant music, lighting and mood - Stephen King does these types of screenplays so well. They’re thoroughly underrated.
I was teaching "Young Goodman Brown" recently, a classic Hawthorne story from 1835 in which a man goes for a walk in the forest and encounters the devil, who basically proceeds to tell him and show him that everyone he knows (wife included) is actually a vile, evil sinner and he was a fool for thinking otherwise. It scars Brown until he dies: he just can't see beyond the evil that people do and loses sight of the good they do as well. It made me think of this film, which I hadn't seen since it first aired. I used parts of it on my lessons and my students were riveted. It opened up all sorts of conversations, and we connected them to the story I was teaching. It was just great.
I know you commented 2 years ago but.. I loved what you said. It is great to have an English teacher do these kinds of things. I am currently reading a modern audiobook- tragic romance, White Knight by CD Reiss, that starts with teenagers in a forbidden first love, like Romeo and Juliet, and ends up like Wuthering Heights.I couldn’t make those literary comparisons if I hadn’t had great teachers that made learning the classics memorable for me, even 50 years later. BTW you wouldn’t wanna use that Romance book as a reference, it’s too spicy in parts.
This is my favorite movie of all time. The set, the characters, the heart wrenching end of the story. The fact that people can pull together so well, be so kind. But in the end.... They fall apart when they need each other the most. Beautiful, terrible, and true.
I was watching it, Feb 99' I was 14....I remember, even then, wanting to be the Constable, but thinking Lenoge was more right about people "Your town is filled with adulterer pedophiles thieves gluttons murderers bullies scoundrels and covetous morons....and I know EVERY one of them!"
I remember watching this as a kid when it released on TV in a 3 or 4 part series. You know it's a great flick when you still quote it years later. "Give me what I want and ill go away". EPIC
This really stood the test of time. It's better than most modern horror movies and the special effects were paired down this more believable. I loved the devil's teeth, extremely well crafted. Modern-day movies really need to take notes!!
This is a brilliant movie. The scary gentleman reminds me so much like Hannibal Lector with the eyes, the calmness, mannerism and correct way of speech!!!
Greatest horror suspense movie ever! “Born in lust, turn to dust, born in sin, come on in”! Colm Feore is incredible in this movie, Tim Daly, etc. “Give me what I want and I’ll go away”!
Born in lust..., Born in sin.... , but the author didn’t consider and include Born in Love. These dark horror works can’t survive and “entertain” if love is involved, especially God’s love. It’s powerful. 💟✝️

This has always been my favorite Stephen King mini-series. I remember viewing this in Anchorage, during one of our own snow storms. Gave me serious, "shiver me timbers" vibes!
I also watch this every October. It is a masterpiece. The end gets me every time, Mike did the right thing & just when you think his pain is becoming less painful, what happens?...he sees his son in SF, just is gut-wrenching.
Reminded me of when a parent losses to a child to some trauma. That child changes in ways due to the experience that parents and others can't see or reach. The traumatized child becomes someone unknown or barely recognizable to them. How often do families allow trauma to win because they are too afraid to figure out how to cope? This remains an interesting movie. Everytime I see it, I realize some detail differently.
I watched this movie decades, many many years ago. The characters and the plots were so ingrained in my head, I can still remember the shocking details in the movie. Definitely one of the his best movies.
@@leo-unddieAnderen lol he does make it sound ancient don't he?..but he's not actually wrong when he says decades..it was made in 1999 so its over 2 decades old,24yrs this yr!..but yh his comment & your reply did make me laugh..funny..
Seen this movie several times since my first watch 12 years ago and been in love ever since. From the mystery, to the characters, to the villain, to the setting in Maine...a place I've dreamed of living. I love this movie. Truly a masterpiece
I've always found Steven King's writing to be impressive. They consistently spend a lot of money on the big screen. But a solid story is truly what it requires. That's it. All of the characters had a great sense of purpose. Amazing stuff, indeed.
i live on an island in Maine and while i will pass on the linoge visitation, i would love to get a huge snowstorm..too bad maine islands dont get snow storms that often
@@shayshay9764 What Island do you live on? I live in Massachusetts now but my family used to have a home on Islesboro back in the 70s. I used to love taking the ferry from Camden.
If you have ever been to Maine for any length time then you know this story can't be far off the mark. I once heard there is a legend of a man who came to New England back when it was a wilderness who wanted arcane power at all costs. It is said that he traveled to Maine with arcane objects brought from the old country and used it to rip a hole into another dimension. I imagine this to be his story and it gives me a chill. All I can say is, surround yourself with people like Mike Anderson because when push comes to shove, everyone else will side with the Devil.

@@towhomitmayconcern666 Thank you for your concern. I believe we have a Divine planet in a Divine Universe that both are evolving. This is not original to my thinking. I also think that there are forces that oppose us even if they are just the result of myopic thinking.
The only person that came out of this horrific situation with their conscience and honor intact was Michel Anderson. The rest of the people on that island were spineless cowards.
I watched this movie when it first came out and it became my all time favorite. I have searched every year after that hoping that it would be on cable, Netflix and now Prime with no luck. I can’t believe it was on TH-cam this whole time.
I grew up watching this movie with my family esp during Blizzards or big snowstorms at night :) I can watch this over and over again and never get tired.
Stephen king has many wonderful books and movies but quietly n my opinion this one is the best. The feel of the storm on going in the background. The implied evil as well as the tangible. The no win situation all the characters faced and the they faced their demons as well as Andre. This is just as good in 2023 as it was in 1993.
I remember walking in on my sister and her friend watching this movie. I must have been 7 years old. I remember coming in at the climax of when Ralph is taken away and his parents are pleading with the demon to let him go. Then I saw that scene where a grown Ralph stares back at his dad with such cold indifference and hisses, revealing his fangs. That terrified me and made me realize not all stories get a happy ending. Years later I finally figure out the name of the movie and at 28 I was expecting to find the scene really corny. Nope, just as disturbing.
@@leo-unddieAnderenyou don’t understand because you are likely a sociopath…but sharing life stories is a extremely common thing that human beings do. Please seek therapy…you probably don’t belong in society.
I first watched this movie as a child and remember how much it shocked me that they all gave up the kid. This stayed in my mind and I tried to find this movie many years later, Know at the age of 35 I have found it.
My mom's had me watching this as a kid. Now I'm 33 and still watching, especially on a cold winter day !!! The best mood ever!! So many memories with this movie!!! My favorite movie by far!!! And forget molly! And Donny need his lil behind beat lol🥹 my dad pays your salary 😂
A movie that touches your heart and your morals ... What a master of genius ... I love children and my family and i couldn't even imagine what these people had to go through ... Thank you for the upload ... If more people would watch this movie our world would be a better place ... Thank you
I don't understand why Molly seems surprised that Linoge takes Ralphie. He's not secretive about about taking a special interest in him, he picks him up in the supermarket at the beginning, he lures him into the closet to give him the bag of stones. I understand why the island folk are scared of Linoge & believe he'll kill them all - but I've never understood Molly's surprise when he rigs the game to take Ralphie.
I think she didn't want her secret revealed. She seemed to know what the stones were when she opened the bag. Possibly, she and Hatch were having an affair. Maybe did something to his wife.
I like how truly he is not physically a threat. The only person Andre Linoge actually physically confronted killing was the old lady at the beginning. But that in turn started the terror he meant to bring as he is a master of manipulation. He doesn't have the power to control things but feed into negatively what occurs naturally. Such as the storm and people's psyche: fears and emotions. Though he does harness the ability to manifest upon and manipulate kinetic energy and probably magnetic force as well. In contrast Michael Anderson wasn't just the purest character in the film but wasn't weak minded making him difficult to manipulate. Love watching this movie thanks for posting! 🍿👌
I watched this years ago but, I suddenly remember the quote "Give me what I want and I'll go away." And was curious on where I learned this quote from, so I searched up the quote, and I now see why this quote stuck with me for so many years, and why I always remember it out of the blue. This was and still is a great movie.
I’m from Maine and live in Lewiston and I know Lisbon street and canal streets well too. Those clubs he mentioned on Lisbon street have been gone for years and years.
I can't say I'd use that exact term; but yeah, the 'cozy' part is totally apt for this movie (& I too had thought of it previously), I think of the scene with the old lady with her little cup of tea, and snow or rain have that effect, everyone together weathering the storm, etc. But I wouldn't isolate it to this movie alone. King seems to appreciate this dynamic in life. Some of his other movies definitely share this characteristic also. For me, some of his films are like comfort food laced with poison. Like the little old lady sitting relaxing with her cup of tea and then she gets her skull cracked.
what i love about stephen king is abilitiy and his style of taking us to that small town america setting and feel along with the regular life and characters, often fullof warmth and wholesomeness and turn it little by little into something sinister and dangerous and often supernatural.
This movie is so underrated and I’ll never get tired of it. I saw it for the first time at a sleepover when I was 12 years old. I also saw Silence Of The Lambs for the first time that night, they’ve both been two of my favorite movies since.
Just finished watching this terrific movie in Florida on Labor Day weekend 2022 in 90 degree weather! The snowstorm reminded me of a normal blizzard winter weekend in my hometown of Buffalo, NY...honestly, lived and drove through worse weather than that flurry when I lived there. But it helped me feel cooler and reassured me I'd never go back north in the winter, ever again!
Excellent Film! Excellent Storyline! Mr. King brings his Characters true to life. I actually cried for Mike Anderson. Unbelievable how little faith in God that many professed Christians in a small community actually had when put to real test? What a great testimony. I love that the story doesn't end with you wondering what the backlash is in the wake of their decision? Thank You for sharing this? I wasn't even aware that this existed?
I love that the town of Derry Maine is mentioned many times in this film (the town from his book "IT.") Its like all stephen king films and books intertwine. Also, at the very end when robbie's wife goes out in the boat one morning and all they found was a yellow rain slicker and red boots (also from IT, what georgie is wearing in the beginning before pennywise gets him in the storm drain.) I also LOVE the similarities between the island of little tall and Roanoke island ! We learned about "Croaton" in school and it always scared me.
@@NKdidit.24 Yes and no. King lives most of the years in Bangor Maine, yes, but he lives most of the winters in Sarasota Florida. A lot of his movies take place in fictional towns in Maine, yes, but The Green Mile takes place in Louisiane, Desperation takes place in Nevada, Children of the Corn takes place in Nebraska, Shining takes place in Colorado, and so on...
@@JAContes No, he wasn't. Notice at the end Molly Anderson told Linoge: 'you tricked us'. He replied: 'you tricked yourselves.' The attitude of the townspeople was 'it's ok as long as it's not MY kid'. Notice how they held Michael down when Linoge took his son. Linoge was NOT omnipotent. The fact was, he had to frighten the townsfolk into giving him one of their children. He couldn't take the child, they had to give him to him. Anderson knew that, therefore if the townspeople had stood firm, and faced Linoge, with strength, courage and faith, they may very well have turned him away. But they lacked all three apart from Michael.
@@janesgems7 Well obviously if they knew he was not capable of making the entire town fall into the sea then they should of fought him, but that isn't the case. They say that they believe that he can do what he made them all see in the dream so they logically chose to give up one child for the safety of the rest. I don't see why this is even argued about...
I always say when someone asks “what’s your favorite movie?” And this one truly is it. I haven’t watched it in about 10 years, I watched it the other day and it’s just been on repeat ever since. It’s very nostalgic, I feel like I’m back in my old room at my moms house when I was in high school, just wow. The hands down my favorite movie
I remember when this was a huge tv event when I was young and was so excited to watch it! Loved it then and love it now! Love Stephen king I aspire to write like him💕
Yeah me too. And waiting for the commercial breaks made it a 6 hours movie. Glad I can watch it commercial free now and it’s still 4 hours long. But worth every second
I love this movie. I only wish it had been a book first because you always get so much more information about the characters (their backstory, their thoughts, etc.) in a Stephen King book.
“Storm of the Century was not based on a novel but was an original screenplay written by the author and directly produced for television. King described the screenplay as a "novel for television." The screenplay was published as a mass-market book in February 1999 prior to the TV broadcast of the mini-series.”
How many have noticed there are subtle clues throughout the movie that Linoge had targeted Ralphie basically the entire time? I think the weirding stone ritual was, in fact, rigged.
@@camilletcummings5446 Sad part is people don't stand up, real evil dr Fauci and evil Bill Gates, psychopath are doing the same. Nobody is doing anything to stop these creeps. I love this movie, because it shows how cowardly people actually are and selfish.
This story is incredibly relevant today. The whole point is that there are worse things than death, especially for those of us who claim to be religious.
Ralph was his choice from the start, Michael didn't stand a chance. I just wish his wife had supported his stance, they would've been able to deal with the loss together.
@@shawnbass4936 I think he made his choice long before the supermarket meeting. Mike and Hatch originally wanted to take him through the back door and it refused to open. Then they were forced to bring him through the front door of a crowded supermarket where Ralphie just happened to be there? Then after they had Linoge locked up, suddenly they were able to open the back door again. I think Linoge wanted to force them to take him through the front door so he could “bump” into Ralphie.
This ending is about kneeling to evil. Never capitulate to something you don't agree with, it only makes things worse. And the results if you give in to evil linger in your mind forever
The king had a great way express the true reality of human nature in his charactors. The fog the another great movie base on the king's book. Great mind.
I'm so happy I found this here. I think this is one of Stephen King's best movie adaptations ever! Loved it the first time I saw it and have loved it ever since. Still look for it and watch it from time to time as I've just done here. Thanks for posting!
I remember seeing this on tv when i was a little kid. All i could remember about the movie was them drawing rocks to see whose kid gets taken. Searched for it for a few years.
@@crystalknox-smith682 I don't think it was coincidence that it is ralphie who received the bag of stones and he handed Molly the bag of stones and she poured the stones in her hand and we see the black stone. That was fore shadowing Molly getting the black stone
Stephen King is just The King. Master in (horror) story telling. I read so much work of him and also watched many movies. This one is again, a true classic. Horror, a little community and the psyche of the human being. And it grabs you by the troath, right from the beginning. Good acting too👌. Thank You, Mister King.
I couldn't agree more... I too, often re-watch his movies and I am enthralled each time. I must have watched The Green Mile about 6 times. Carrie, The Shining, Gerald's Game, Misery and IT, watched these quite a couple of times. Stephen King is brilliant!! The Stand is a must-watch, especially during these trying times we find ourselves in...
Along with Red Rose and this fine movie, Stephen King shows his versatility making competent screen plays along with his many accomplishments in literature. This movie still stands up and when I recommend it to others who have not seen it they enjoy. .
It’s a crime Colm Feore didn’t get greater parts in cinema. His voice alone gives him such an insane presence. He was downright intimidating as the Lord Marshall in Riddick. “Convert now…or fall forever.”
I wish they would make a sequel with Andre Linoge training Ralphie to replace him. They already kind of set this up with the ending in San Francisco with Michael Anderson. Colm Feore could reprise the role of Andre Linoge as now an older individual.
One of those stories I can watch over and over. I love the atmosphere of the severe winter storm and the close familial feel of the island. Little Tall looks like a place it would be a pleasure to live among the people.

One of my favorite Stephen King stories. It really rips the mask off people who everyone thinks are “perfect”, “normal” & who act like they have never done anything wrong. For a town, an entire town, to give up a child to a demon is mindblowing, a mob mentality in a time of crisis.
The oldest human emotion is fear…the oldest human fear is fear of the unknown. The town gave into that fear, & sacrificed a child to a demon. When they stand before God, what will they say…
By the sound of it many are going straight to hell.

I was teaching "Young Goodman Brown" recently, a classic Hawthorne story from 1835 in which a man goes for a walk in the forest and encounters the devil, who basically proceeds to tell him and show him that everyone he knows (wife included) is actually a vile, evil sinner and he was a fool for thinking otherwise. It scars Brown until he dies: he just can't see beyond the evil that people do and loses sight of the good they do as well. It made me think of this film, which I hadn't seen since it first aired. I used parts of it on my lessons and my students were riveted. It opened up all sorts of conversations, and we connected them to the story I was teaching. It was just great.
Nobody cares, Frank.
Yeah, I love that story. It calls to something inside all of us that understands from our own lives that no on can be as good as they pretend.
I know you commented 2 years ago but.. I loved what you said. It is great to have an English teacher do these kinds of things. I am currently reading a modern audiobook- tragic romance, White Knight by CD Reiss, that starts with teenagers in a forbidden first love, like Romeo and Juliet, and ends up like Wuthering Heights.I couldn’t make those literary comparisons if I hadn’t had great teachers that made learning the classics memorable for me, even 50 years later.
BTW you wouldn’t wanna use that Romance book as a reference, it’s too spicy in parts.
Hawthorne's short fiction i so amazing.
This is my favorite movie of all time. The set, the characters, the heart wrenching end of the story. The fact that people can pull together so well, be so kind. But in the end.... They fall apart when they need each other the most. Beautiful, terrible, and true.
Even the music! Somber and just haunting at times. This movie is incredible
Came here after Stephen King’s tweet
Me too! King is the king!
This is NOT the true film. It is SPED UP and Doctored. Original runs 4hrs and 28 or 38 minutes, not 08 minutes. DO NOT WATCH THIS.
da vid I'm loving it rite now. ⌚ ♏
I was watching it, Feb 99' I was 14....I remember, even then, wanting to be the Constable, but thinking Lenoge was more right about people "Your town is filled with adulterer pedophiles thieves gluttons murderers bullies scoundrels and covetous morons....and I know EVERY one of them!"
me too
I remember watching this as a kid when it released on TV in a 3 or 4 part series. You know it's a great flick when you still quote it years later. "Give me what I want and ill go away". EPIC
Well put ... my feelings as well ... I say all the time when we have to make a decision, "What say you Little Tall"?
@Yehuda Shlomo Knüttelberg I don't remember that line.
It's always been a 2 part series
The BEST MOVIE TO EVER EXPLAIN ( CROATON) OR LENOIG LEGION FROM THE BIBLE
You watched this as a child? Did it give you nightmares?
Rented this long time ago with my friends without looking at the runtime, But those hours went by fast. We all liked it.
This really stood the test of time. It's better than most modern horror movies and the special effects were paired down this more believable. I loved the devil's teeth, extremely well crafted. Modern-day movies really need to take notes!!
This is a brilliant movie. The scary gentleman reminds me so much like Hannibal Lector with the eyes, the calmness, mannerism and correct way of speech!!!
I thought was the Hannybal's actor
@Christian M. Nope. He was ppayed by Colm Feore, who acted in Thor (2011) playing Laufey (Loki's father)
@Christian M. Oh.....nice
Anthony hopkins would have been perfect for this role. I wish it was him lol
He was eating pie.
Please don't delete this, this film is so underrated..

I remember looking at this movie with my mom when I was around 6. Great movie.
Download it!
Robbie’s Mom is the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen!!
One of the best Stephen King movies ever.
Greatest horror suspense movie ever! “Born in lust, turn to dust, born in sin, come on in”! Colm Feore is incredible in this movie, Tim Daly, etc. “Give me what I want and I’ll go away”!
Born in lust..., Born in sin.... , but the author didn’t consider and include Born in Love. These dark horror works can’t survive and “entertain” if love is involved, especially God’s love. It’s powerful. 💟✝️

"Davey, you're too damn short to play basketball." Love this movie, it's one of my all time favorites.
That was so random 😂😂
so thats one of his sins really?
Good taste it's a classic
@The SyNth Old God Dwarf*
no it isnt
I love how Hatch is totally helpless when Mike is around, but turns into a man of action when he is on his own.
Well said. Thought the same.
also when Mike leaves the island he becomes the alpha male and Marries mikes wife who is the hottest chick on the island
@shazanali692 the hottest chick ???? 😂😂😂😂 That woman looked 30 years older than what she really was !
@@shazanali692 She is hot but has no backbone.
I’ve always loved that Stephen King always makes a cameo in his movies. In this one he’s on the tv (with the basketball in the screen)
This is a tip of the cap to Alfred Hitchcock, who made routine cameos in his own movies.
Timestamp then!
This has always been my favorite Stephen King mini-series. I remember viewing this in Anchorage, during one of our own snow storms. Gave me serious, "shiver me timbers" vibes!
I also watch this every October. It is a masterpiece. The end gets me every time, Mike did the right thing & just when you think his pain is becoming less painful, what happens?...he sees his son in SF, just is gut-wrenching.
Reminded me of when a parent losses to a child to some trauma. That child changes in ways due to the experience that parents and others can't see or reach. The traumatized child becomes someone unknown or barely recognizable to them.
How often do families allow trauma to win because they are too afraid to figure out how to cope?
This remains an interesting movie. Everytime I see it, I realize some detail differently.
One of my all time favorite Stephen King movies. They don't make em like this anymore. Thank you so much.
Best movie for sleeping during cold or just bad weather, the movie blends into the dreams so well.
I watched this movie decades, many many years ago. The characters and the plots were so ingrained in my head, I can still remember the shocking details in the movie. Definitely one of the his best movies.
Absolutely absolutely.
It is not that freaking old. Jeez.
@@leo-unddieAnderen lol he does make it sound ancient don't he?..but he's not actually wrong when he says decades..it was made in 1999 so its over 2 decades old,24yrs this yr!..but yh his comment & your reply did make me laugh..funny..
Seen this movie several times since my first watch 12 years ago and been in love ever since. From the mystery, to the characters, to the villain, to the setting in Maine...a place I've dreamed of living. I love this movie. Truly a masterpiece
Used to own it...but got lost in a move
I've always found Steven King's writing to be impressive. They consistently spend a lot of money on the big screen. But a solid story is truly what it requires. That's it. All of the characters had a great sense of purpose. Amazing stuff, indeed.
Absolutely.
Absolutely one of horrors classics. Steven Kings is a master at the top of his game.
As a native Mainer, born on a Downeast island, I will say Tim Daly's accent is quite accurate.
i live on an island in Maine and while i will pass on the linoge visitation, i would love to get a huge snowstorm..too bad maine islands dont get snow storms that often
@@shayshay9764 What Island do you live on? I live in Massachusetts now but my family used to have a home on Islesboro back in the 70s. I used to love taking the ferry from Camden.
Have you ever been to Castle Rock?
If you have ever been to Maine for any length time then you know this story can't be far off the mark. I once heard there is a legend of a man who came to New England back when it was a wilderness who wanted arcane power at all costs. It is said that he traveled to Maine with arcane objects brought from the old country and used it to rip a hole into another dimension. I imagine this to be his story and it gives me a chill. All I can say is, surround yourself with people like Mike Anderson because when push comes to shove, everyone else will side with the Devil.
Any more information on that?

@@towhomitmayconcern666 Thank you for your concern. I believe we have a Divine planet in a Divine Universe that both are evolving. This is not original to my thinking. I also think that there are forces that oppose us even if they are just the result of myopic thinking.
The only person that came out of this horrific situation with their conscience and honor intact was Michel Anderson. The rest of the people on that island were spineless cowards.
This was not a Stephen King adaptation of a novel. This was a screenplay he wrote exclusively for this movie. And it sure is a good one.
I watched this movie when it first came out and it became my all time favorite. I have searched every year after that hoping that it would be on cable, Netflix and now Prime with no luck. I can’t believe it was on TH-cam this whole time.
I grew up watching this movie with my family esp during Blizzards or big snowstorms at night :) I can watch this over and over again and never get tired.
I remember watching this as a kid some 20 years ago, I thought I was imagining it! Glad to know it's real and I can finally experience it fully.
That what is real?
@@robertmontgomery3108 Your Mom
Same i remember watching it on TV as a 4 part series. GREAT FLICK even as a kid. Probably especially as a kid.
me tooo!!
this is one of my favorite movies of Stephen king. and favorite actor colm feore
Stephen king has many wonderful books and movies but quietly n my opinion this one is the best. The feel of the storm on going in the background. The implied evil as well as the tangible. The no win situation all the characters faced and the they faced their demons as well as Andre. This is just as good in 2023 as it was in 1993.
1990s was the last decade for good tv shows.
I remember walking in on my sister and her friend watching this movie. I must have been 7 years old. I remember coming in at the climax of when Ralph is taken away and his parents are pleading with the demon to let him go. Then I saw that scene where a grown Ralph stares back at his dad with such cold indifference and hisses, revealing his fangs. That terrified me and made me realize not all stories get a happy ending.
Years later I finally figure out the name of the movie and at 28 I was expecting to find the scene really corny. Nope, just as disturbing.
It's a miniseries
I really hate that ending wish I'd never seen it
Why do people always tell their personal histories in the youtube comments sections? You saw a movie. So did the rest of us.

Best movie ever I remember when I was in high school & it air on ABC everybody in high school couldn't wait to get home just to watch it....
Same...I kept wondering what the hell the guy wanted lol...the end was awesome
I actually sat for four hours and watched this movie to the end !! thank you so much for sharing !
I first watched this movie as a child and remember how much it shocked me that they all gave up the kid. This stayed in my mind and I tried to find this movie many years later, Know at the age of 35 I have found it.
I accidentally rented this movie thinking it was something else back in the day when I was a kid and ended up loving every second of it. What a gem.
@Steve Smith that's what I got confused with
@Steve Smith Another great movie to watch.
Were you thinking of Stormy Daniels? Different type of movie fer sure
I confused this with the dream catcher. Also a Steven King
@Steve Smith I think it's dream catcher. By Stephen King
Who else but Stephen King to Tweet that you can actually see for free a movie made from one his book? Total not giving a F. Just love this guy...
The film was not based on any of his books. It was an original screenplay of his.
The book came after the movie..
It is based off of his book
@@justincase9101 the book came later, man
@@Verschlimmbesserung No, you are all wrong.. the screenplay from the television series was later published in book form.
My mom's had me watching this as a kid. Now I'm 33 and still watching, especially on a cold winter day !!! The best mood ever!! So many memories with this movie!!! My favorite movie by far!!!
And forget molly! And Donny need his lil behind beat lol🥹 my dad pays your salary 😂
Omg Molly don't get me started.
A movie that touches your heart and your morals ... What a master of genius ... I love children and my family and i couldn't even imagine what these people had to go through ... Thank you for the upload ... If more people would watch this movie our world would be a better place ... Thank you
I don't understand why Molly seems surprised that Linoge takes Ralphie. He's not secretive about about taking a special interest in him, he picks him up in the supermarket at the beginning, he lures him into the closet to give him the bag of stones. I understand why the island folk are scared of Linoge & believe he'll kill them all - but I've never understood Molly's surprise when he rigs the game to take Ralphie.
I think she didn't want her secret revealed. She seemed to know what the stones were when she opened the bag. Possibly, she and Hatch were having an affair. Maybe did something to his wife.
One of Kings best films; especially since it was purely a screen wright for television and not an actual novel! Absolute gold!
? I don’t understand since it was a book.
@@kingpickle3712 Nope it was never based off a book.
My favorite move to watch during summer when it is 100 degrees out. I swear it
feels cooler while watching it!
That's why i only read jack london in summer.
Watching this in 2022.. still one of thee best classics.. definitely watch start to finish
I’m still so heartbroken for Mike Anderson after all these years
😔 oh my I think about him often and I googled him in real life👌🏾🤣😂🤣😂🤣😁
That's a spoiler
@@erichornsby783 oh, get over it
No thank you. Lol
Here it is again... That's a spoiler!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@erichornsby783 cry baby wimp
I like how truly he is not physically a threat. The only person Andre Linoge actually physically confronted killing was the old lady at the beginning. But that in turn started the terror he meant to bring as he is a master of manipulation. He doesn't have the power to control things but feed into negatively what occurs naturally. Such as the storm and people's psyche: fears and emotions. Though he does harness the ability to manifest upon and manipulate kinetic energy and probably magnetic force as well. In contrast Michael Anderson wasn't just the purest character in the film but wasn't weak minded making him difficult to manipulate. Love watching this movie thanks for posting! 🍿👌
Also, how many people agree with Mike for leaving Molly because she took sides with the town's people against him?
Yeah I really did not like her.
Molly is the most hated person in this movie. She is the one who sells her own son's soul but she wants to break her promise with the devil himself.
Mike could have saved them if they had listen he was scared about him the most
That betrayal of NOT having his back.. I don't think that I could forget it..OR forgive it
I really agree with that, you don't side with others in a spousal argument. You keep it between yourselves.
I watched this years ago but, I suddenly remember the quote "Give me what I want and I'll go away." And was curious on where I learned this quote from, so I searched up the quote, and I now see why this quote stuck with me for so many years, and why I always remember it out of the blue. This was and still is a great movie.
I watch this every winter. Cozy-ass movie.
Yes it is
or anytime i have a hard time sleeping
I do this for 10+ years now as well, very well-captured movie.
I’m from Maine and live in Lewiston and I know Lisbon street and canal streets well too. Those clubs he mentioned on Lisbon street have been gone for years and years.
I can't say I'd use that exact term; but yeah, the 'cozy' part is totally apt for this movie (& I too had thought of it previously), I think of the scene with the old lady with her little cup of tea, and snow or rain have that effect, everyone together weathering the storm, etc. But I wouldn't isolate it to this movie alone. King seems to appreciate this dynamic in life. Some of his other movies definitely share this characteristic also. For me, some of his films are like comfort food laced with poison. Like the little old lady sitting relaxing with her cup of tea and then she gets her skull cracked.
what i love about stephen king is abilitiy and his style of taking us to that small town america setting and feel along with the regular life and characters, often fullof warmth and wholesomeness and turn it little by little into something sinister and dangerous and often supernatural.
I watched this is a kid…. Dang does it hit home now that I have kids. I feel so much pain for Michael Anderson. Crazy movie.
This one and also The Langoliers are two of Kings movies that you won't get tired of watching again and again and again! 👌
Langoliers is overrated.....pet cemetary and carrie are better than either of this and you know it😱
Sorry but Langoliers is a retarded movie. If you want something good along with this, go for Pet Sematary.
I also liked Langoliers.
Holy cow this video/audio quality is unnnrealll compared to the other uploads...
@@MegaMacReal I've watched it 100x and never even noticed
@@MegaMacReal I guess they took the old version down to compare it, there's another but not the original
@@MegaMacReal it's definitely been stretched
I agree with him for leaving Molly. They could have had 2 dozens of children. But none of them could ever replace Ralphy.
This movie is so underrated and I’ll never get tired of it. I saw it for the first time at a sleepover when I was 12 years old. I also saw Silence Of The Lambs for the first time that night, they’ve both been two of my favorite movies since.
Just finished watching this terrific movie in Florida on Labor Day weekend 2022 in 90 degree weather! The snowstorm reminded me of a normal blizzard winter weekend in my hometown of Buffalo, NY...honestly, lived and drove through worse weather than that flurry when I lived there. But it helped me feel cooler and reassured me I'd never go back north in the winter, ever again!
My favorite favorite Stephen king movie ever!
Thank you so much for posting this! Every time a bad storm hits I have to watch it. I lost my DVD I was so happy to find this
Me too!!
Excellent Film! Excellent Storyline! Mr. King brings his Characters true to life.
I actually cried for Mike Anderson. Unbelievable how little faith in God that many professed Christians in a small community actually had when put to real test?
What a great testimony. I love that the story doesn't end with you wondering what the backlash is in the wake of their decision?
Thank You for sharing this?
I wasn't even aware that this existed?
99.9999% of people that claim to truly believe in the whole Christianity mythos are full of it haha. You too I bet.
I love that the town of Derry Maine is mentioned many times in this film (the town from his book "IT.") Its like all stephen king films and books intertwine. Also, at the very end when robbie's wife goes out in the boat one morning and all they found was a yellow rain slicker and red boots (also from IT, what georgie is wearing in the beginning before pennywise gets him in the storm drain.) I also LOVE the similarities between the island of little tall and Roanoke island ! We learned about "Croaton" in school and it always scared me.
I love this comment !
Stephen King is from Bangor Maine, all of his movies are based on a fictional town in Maine
@@NKdidit.24 Yes and no. King lives most of the years in Bangor Maine, yes, but he lives most of the winters in Sarasota Florida. A lot of his movies take place in fictional towns in Maine, yes, but The Green Mile takes place in Louisiane, Desperation takes place in Nevada, Children of the Corn takes place in Nebraska, Shining takes place in Colorado, and so on...
Thanks TH-cam a brilliant movie with a great cast from a great story teller Stephen king
I have watched this master piece at least 20 times,great to fall asleep with !
l never get sick of watching this movie..so well acted as well by all of them ❤
How could everyone vote to give away a child but Michael Anderson stood strong and I don't feel sorry for anyone at the end except for Michael
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. It is simple logic. Michael was wrong.
I agree Richie. It is crazy!!
Thanks Victoria
@@JAContes No, he wasn't. Notice at the end Molly Anderson told Linoge: 'you tricked us'. He replied: 'you tricked yourselves.' The attitude of the townspeople was 'it's ok as long as it's not MY kid'. Notice how they held Michael down when Linoge took his son.
Linoge was NOT omnipotent. The fact was, he had to frighten the townsfolk into giving him one of their children. He couldn't take the child, they had to give him to him. Anderson knew that, therefore if the townspeople had stood firm, and faced Linoge, with strength, courage and faith, they may very well have turned him away. But they lacked all three apart from Michael.
@@janesgems7 Well obviously if they knew he was not capable of making the entire town fall into the sea then they should of fought him, but that isn't the case. They say that they believe that he can do what he made them all see in the dream so they logically chose to give up one child for the safety of the rest. I don't see why this is even argued about...
I always say when someone asks “what’s your favorite movie?” And this one truly is it. I haven’t watched it in about 10 years, I watched it the other day and it’s just been on repeat ever since. It’s very nostalgic, I feel like I’m back in my old room at my moms house when I was in high school, just wow. The hands down my favorite movie
I do love Steven king's movies. This one and The Stand are still my favorites. Thank you again for sharing these great classics ❤
I watch this as I'm falling asleep. I'm so happy I found this.
I remember when this was a huge tv event when I was young and was so excited to watch it! Loved it then and love it now! Love Stephen king I aspire to write like him💕
Same
Yeah me too. And waiting for the commercial breaks made it a 6 hours movie. Glad I can watch it commercial free now and it’s still 4 hours long. But worth every second
I love this movie. I only wish it had been a book first because you always get so much more information about the characters (their backstory, their thoughts, etc.) in a Stephen King book.
No book as such, however, the screenplay was published in book form.
“Storm of the Century was not based on a novel but was an original screenplay written by the author and directly produced for television. King described the screenplay as a "novel for television." The screenplay was published as a mass-market book in February 1999 prior to the TV broadcast of the mini-series.”
How many have noticed there are subtle clues throughout the movie that Linoge had targeted Ralphie basically the entire time? I think the weirding stone ritual was, in fact, rigged.
Yes but had they stood up to him he couldn't have taken him
@@camilletcummings5446 Sad part is people don't stand up, real evil dr Fauci and evil Bill Gates, psychopath are doing the same. Nobody is doing anything to stop these creeps. I love this movie, because it shows how cowardly people actually are and selfish.
Targeting? Maybe saving from those obviously selfish and self-serving humans.
@@leo-unddieAnderen good point
Yeah i don't think it was a coincidence that molly being the LAST person in line to choose a stone ended up picking the black one
This story is incredibly relevant today. The whole point is that there are worse things than death, especially for those of us who claim to be religious.
Ralph was his choice from the start, Michael didn't stand a chance. I just wish his wife had supported his stance, they would've been able to deal with the loss together.
I agree with u . it was amazing how he knew everyone pass I just love this movie .
It's a movie
In daylight, I know better.
I noticed that, Ralph was the first kid he noticed and interacted with, and ended up being the kid he took, awesome detail
@@shawnbass4936 I think he made his choice long before the supermarket meeting. Mike and Hatch originally wanted to take him through the back door and it refused to open. Then they were forced to bring him through the front door of a crowded supermarket where Ralphie just happened to be there? Then after they had Linoge locked up, suddenly they were able to open the back door again. I think Linoge wanted to force them to take him through the front door so he could “bump” into Ralphie.
This ending is about kneeling to evil. Never capitulate to something you don't agree with, it only makes things worse. And the results if you give in to evil linger in your mind forever
If they would've stuck together he would've went away
The king had a great way express the true reality of human nature in his charactors. The fog the another great movie base on the king's book. Great mind.
I think you mean The Mist
@@bigbowlowrong4694 lol the fog
@@shotshotshot lol jewlander has me rollin

I'm so happy I found this here. I think this is one of Stephen King's best movie adaptations ever! Loved it the first time I saw it and have loved it ever since. Still look for it and watch it from time to time as I've just done here. Thanks for posting!
I don’t think it is an adaption. I think he wrote a screenplay for the movie exclusively.
I remember seeing this on tv when i was a little kid. All i could remember about the movie was them drawing rocks to see whose kid gets taken. Searched for it for a few years.
He always wanted Ralph in my opinion this show is something else, it's on another level.
I found what you said is true. I sense that once he brought the demon through the store -the fact he wanted the boy was obvious.
But he told Molly the game was straight.. one thing he never did was lie.. he actually only told the dark truth.. maybe it was fair
He did because the strength of his father you notice he picked him up and sad you know what the mark on your nose is
He knew Mike was the only one who could stop him he wanted his son the whole time
@@crystalknox-smith682 I don't think it was coincidence that it is ralphie who received the bag of stones and he handed Molly the bag of stones and she poured the stones in her hand and we see the black stone. That was fore shadowing Molly getting the black stone
Stephen King is just The King. Master in (horror) story telling. I read so much work of him and also watched many movies. This one is again, a true classic. Horror, a little community and the psyche of the human being. And it grabs you by the troath, right from the beginning. Good acting too👌. Thank You, Mister King.
I couldn't agree more... I too, often re-watch his movies and I am enthralled each time. I must have watched The Green Mile about 6 times. Carrie, The Shining, Gerald's Game, Misery and IT, watched these quite a couple of times. Stephen King is brilliant!! The Stand is a must-watch, especially during these trying times we find ourselves in...
@@wendynewman8627 the stand is brilliant indeed👏
What is a troath?
I remember having the VHS tapes as a kid. Had to change it over half way through as the series was so long
Along with Red Rose and this fine movie, Stephen King shows his versatility making competent screen plays along with his many accomplishments in literature. This movie still stands up and when I recommend it to others who have not seen it they enjoy. .
Watching during our little winter shut and and always watch every winter:)
I have watched it many times as well. Colm Joseph Feore is so handsome and a great actor. He was perfect for this character.
I love this, I have watched this movie so many times, never gets old
My favorite Stephen King Story, by far.
I liked this one and Red Rose.
It’s a crime Colm Feore didn’t get greater parts in cinema. His voice alone gives him such an insane presence. He was downright intimidating as the Lord Marshall in Riddick.
“Convert now…or fall forever.”
I wish they would make a sequel with Andre Linoge training Ralphie to replace him. They already kind of set this up with the ending in San Francisco with Michael Anderson. Colm Feore could reprise the role of Andre Linoge as now an older individual.
One of those stories I can watch over and over. I love the atmosphere of the severe winter storm and the close familial feel of the island. Little Tall looks like a place it would be a pleasure to live among the people.
