For a concept as rich as Needful Things, the original film version hasn’t exactly aged with grace.
Come to think of it, the film kind of landed with a thud in its first incarnation to begin with.
But if Rick and Morty can distill the concept into a memorable episode, then surely the story of a small town being overpowered by a seductive evil is ready for a more modern take.
Though if there’s a possibility to draft Alfred Molina to play the role he helped Dan Harmon lampoon on Adult Swim, then this flick would already be off to a good start.
