Apt Pupil

Another more dramerific Stephen King and a bloody great film from early-ish Bryan Singer. Ian McKellen and Brad Renfro are so great in this and like Misery, it's full of quite moments of high suspense.

Oddly enough I watched this right after an episode of Fringe so Joshua Jackson suddenly popping up 14 years younger was a bit jarring.

It's probably a little flashier though and the power plays going on are far more complicated. Also fellow cat haters will all appreciate a particular scene.

Fantastic characters and I just love watching their little games. It gets pretty dark and hile I understand the ending is different than the novella, I love the way it finishes. Ian McKellen is just damn creepy.
