Why then does it not quite come off? I had to scratch my head and think about this one. It is capably written and directed, the cast all give reasonable performances, particularly Joan Allen. The film was directed by Peter Askin who had previously co-directed Company (2000) and solo directed the documentary Trumbo (2007) and Certainty (2011), all non-genre works, although he has also produced the horror films The Bleeding (2011) and They Remain (2018).Ī Good Marriage is not a bad film, although it is never one that left me feeling particularly inspired. When it comes to the film adaptation, King steps up to write the screenplay – the first time he did so in the 2010s. It was published in his anthology Full Dark, No Stars (2010) – a surprisingly fruitful collection that has also furnished the stories that became the basis for other films such as Big Driver (2014) and 1922 (2017), leaving only the story Fair Extension unfilmed at present. However, Bob returns home unexpectedly early and realises that she has discovered his secret.Ī Good Marriage was a novella from Stephen King. This leaves her with no other conclusion than that Bob is Beadie. Looking up details of the case online, Darcy finds that the earrings Bob gave her for their anniversary were taken from one victim. While Bob is away on one such trip, Darcy accidentally discovers a hiding hole in the garage that contains a box of items that she realises are taken from the victims of the serial killer known as Beadie. Bob is a successful accountant and frequently travels around the countryside on work, which he also uses as an opportunity to further their shared hobby of searching for collectible coins. In Maine, Bob and Darcy Anderson celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary.
