Line of Events
A life-affirming, genre-breaking story based on Stephen King’s short story about three chapters in the life of an ordinary man named Charles Krantz. Hiddleston is Loki and is most associated with the Thor (2011) films and the Loki (2021) TV series, Gillan is Nebula and is most associated with the Čuvari galaksije (2014) films, Ejiofor is Baron Mordo from the Doctor Strange (2016) films, while Dastmalchian is Kurt from the first 2 Ant-Man films and Veb in Ant-Man i Wasp: Kvantumanija (2023).

I went into watching Life of Chuck without knowing anything about it other than it was a short novel by Stephen King. I assumed the movie was going to be a horror movie, and I was sorely mistaken, in the best way.
Mike Flanagan was a director I wasn’t familiar with either, so my expectations were really empty
That being said, Life of Chuck hit the beats of what makes a great horror movie: fleshed-out, relatable characters with a unique, mysterious situation to put them in. I want to leave my review relatively vague, as I think the movie’s hook works best when watching it without knowing much.
I recommend it
I came away from the movie feeling a mix of joy and melancholy and appreciated the art that got me there.
