Needful Things

A new shop opens in town selling an assortment of odd things. However everything in the shop is very valuable to certain people. However you don't buy the treasures, you get them when you do certain deeds for the owner. Soon the deeds create violence and the whole town is trying to kill each other. It's hard for me to judge Stephen King movies after reading the books, because the books are always more detailed and more indept. But it was a pretty decent movie. I like the actor that played the evil shop owner/devil. Check it out if you have the time. 3 out of 5.
