A Good Marriage = A Movie Worth Checking Out.

I have mentioned numerous times on the podcast that the state of our horror genre is in an interesting state.  This is true because VOD (video on demand) movies seem to be peaking more (at least of mine) interest than the scary movies in the theater. 
That being said when I herd that Steven King was writing the screen play for A Good Marriage my ears perked up a Lil bit and I got excited to see this movie.  The last time King wrote the script for a movie based on his book was Pet Cemetery and damn that is a scary movie! 
This is based on a short story in King's anthology novel Full Dark No Stars which I've read and as most of his work is very well done. 
The story basically is based on what a wife would do if after 25 years of marriage, you discover the person sleeping next to you is cereal killer.  I enjoyed the chemistry between Joan Allen and Steven Lang as they play out what I think most people would be feeling in that situation.  Now granted most people prob wouldn't take the road in which the wife chooses to, but it makes for a good film anyway.
The other nice thing is since the script is penned by King based on a story by King there isn't anything lost in the translation.  Long story short if you enjoy Steven's work you will enjoy this movie, and if you haven't read the short story before, the cast packs enough punch to keep you engaged throughout the film.
My score 6/10
