The Dark Half Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Dave Kehr
As if to make up for the slack pacing, the violence seems unnecessarily garish and sadistic.
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
Romero is starting to appear to be a successor to Hitchcock, crafting intelligent stories of ordinary people in dire peril and lacing them with dark wit.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Wilmington
King's story is full of zingers, all aptly visualized by Romero.
Den of Geek
Rebecca Lea
It's a hard trick to pull off playing against yourself, but Hutton generates a real chemistry between Thad and Stark that is at once both fraternal and antagonistic.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
another variation on the Monkey Shines conceit of Jungian shadows and Freudian id manifestations
TheBluFile.com
Dustin Putman
A riveting horror-thriller with a textured sense of location and encroaching menace.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Romero's adapation of King's novella is not a great horror flick but a decent genre item.
Variety
Variety Staff
Hutton's George Stark is a terrific contrast, a cowboy greaser in black who's all razor edges, cigarettes and booze.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Should satisfy mostly hardcore fans of the horror genre.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Legendary horror director George A. Romero takes this material seriously and lends a real intimacy -- and real dread -- to it.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
The film is sleek and enjoyable, with a highly amusing Timothy Hutton in the dual role of nice-guy Thad and vicious George.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
A wicked good time
New York Times
Vincent Canby
The scenes are so beautifully done that Hitchcock might have admired them, or at least their technical facility.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
The Dark Half ends as a Stephen King movie only a George Stark could love.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The film's biggest disappointment is that it doesn't develop its preternatural opening theme.
Washington Post
Richard Harrington
Romero's film starts out well and clearly benefits from some higher-on-the-line elements, ranging from the cast to the cinematography of Tony Pierce-Roberts. But like too many King transfers to the screen, it falls apart in the last reel.
