Darcy Anderson has it all - her husband Bob is an accountant, they in live in a nice house, their kids are successful and she has maintained her great figure. One night when Bob is away on a business trip she makes a shocking discovery in the garage - it looks like he is a sadistic serial killer known as BD. Does she do the right thing and call the cops? NO. Instead she stays home alone, but has Bob returned early or is her imagination playing horrifying tricks on her?
As my header reads I thought this one started off quite well, I got into the characters and then the discovery, it was very well done. The remainder of the film however, save for the odd moment, does descend into what looks like a typical made for TV movie. Joan Allen does a great job playing Darcy, she was the best thing on offer here and a looks stunning for a 58 year old (at the time of release). A Good Marriage is a dark and suspenseful thriller, borderline horror but those reviews suggesting that it is one of the best Stephen King adaptations are laughable. I watched it for free on TV and it proved a satisfactory watch, however I would not pay to see it.
