The Lawnmower Man

About This Movie

So, The Lawnmower Man is interesting. Directed by James Gonis, this 1987 short film dives into the eerie vibes of a Stephen King story. It’s like a peek into the early days of virtual reality, but with a horror twist. The pacing is pretty tight, keeping you on edge as it unfolds. You get that classic atmosphere with practical effects that, while dated now, still have a certain charm. The performances are a mixed bag, adding to the unsettling feel. It's not your typical adaptation - it captures the essence of King's themes about technology and its impact on humanity in a unique way. Definitely a curious piece for those who appreciate lesser-known adaptations.
