I learn something new ever time I watch this movie, but the message (to me) always remains the same. If you live a life without faith, hope, & love, you have nothing. People think they have no choices and we always do. But if you make the choice based on your own selfish motives and not for the good of everyone, you will end up with a life time of guilt and shame. The people of the island represent how quick we are to think "as long as it isn't me" - or in this case "my kid" it will be ok. Little did they know that there is always a payoff.

I absolutely adore Stephen King's work! This is by far one of my favorite films of ALL TIME! It has just enough of everything in it, from suspense to many comical-witty lines! I love the story line, the characters,its just a phenomenal piece of work! Stephen King is the GREATEST!

I'm from Brazil. I'm doing a paper for the university based on The storm of the century, in which I realized similarities between it and Young Goodman Brown, by N. Howthorne. Has King ever said something about this. If yes, I would like the source to use in my work. Thanks.

I have this movie and I have watched it several times, I really enjoyed it! The first time I saw it I was in a trance, I just wanted to know what he wanted so bad, then when I found out, my jaw dropped. Loved that!

A terrifing perspective of the evil that grips the shirt tail of our seemingly mundane lives; a no-win dilemma dropped right in our comfy laps; a gut-wrentching ending that puts the cruelty of madness in the stratoshpere. Surely, one of my favorite mini-series of all times.

This is one of my favourite mini-series. I love the atmosphere of the snow storm and the way they portrait it as an entity of its own. The feeling that they are stuck and cannot go anywhere. My sister bought me a book of the screenplay and I have no idea where she got that. I really miss your mini-series Mr. King. So be kind and make us all happy. big hello from Canada

***SPOILERS***

I have seen this movie about a 100 times and it does not get old. This is a very good movie and it has a great plot. The ending is sad though because Mike looses his son and sees him again and he cannot tell anyone that he saw his son.

Where this evil came from?

I have watched 'Storm of the Century' countless times and it still manages to intrigue me and break my heart. It is, without a doubt, my favorite King story. Well done Mr. King and thank you!

We just watched the DVD this past week while in a cabin up north in Michigan. We had a "two footer" snow blizzard going on outside at the time. It made for a perfect evening. We have read most of Kings books... and seen most of the movies based on his writings, but this one deserves to be on the top of our list. It is perfection in every sense. The actors were perfectly cast, and acted. The background and details could'nt be better. There are times I question Kings endings, but this time, he got it just right. We are still discussing the moral implication, and I am very happy to be snowed in at a cabin in Michigan, rather than on an Island off of the Maine coast. Thank You Mr. King

Full of chilling atmosphere & great acting set in a complex story of dark morality, Storm Of The Century replaced Salem's Lot as my favorite Stephen King TV mini-series. Andre Linoge compels as a charismatic villain, who while truly wicked, turns an analytic spotlight on the town of Little Tall Island. As Linoge intimidates & threatens them like some mystical conman or mobster thug, he plays the ultimate mind game, & the island's residents wither in his skillful grasp. In the end, we wonder if the secrets Linoge exposes is more reason for their compliance, than a shaman's violent sorcery.

I saw this as a child, growing up I could never remember the name of it. Probably about two-three years ago I saw it again, got it on DVD because it is well worth it. Even have the screenplay book, which I find to be very interesting, dears. I love reading and seeing different versions of things, this one really did take the cake. I love the build up, suspense, and the cast is great. Stephen King did extremely well in every little detail. It has become my numbero uno film and book. Thank you Stephen King, your creativity is wondrous.

King actually got some heat from the public on this made-for-TV movie. The story involves a very striking moral question woven into the chilling tale, and sadly some people just don't like to have to think that hard. Its well worth it though, both for the frightening entertainment value and the philosophical question it raises. Its a well woven story with a lot of interesting characters.
