While Gerald’s Game is a bit flashier, this project starring previous King collaborator Thomas Jane engages in a slow-burn drama of guilt and the supernatural, as Jane’s Wilf murders his wife to take possession of her family’s farm.
Slowly, Wilf and his son start to see the consequences of those actions manifest in some peculiar ways, leading to an ending that’s pretty damned chilling.
Your patience will be rewarded if you partake in 1922.
Since we started out with a Stephen King adaptation, it feels right to continue down the path and mention that the other Netflix project from that famed author’s canon, 1922, is another fine addition to their streaming library.
