Needful Things is a horror film released in 1993, based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King. The movie follows the mysterious arrival of a new shop called "Needful Things" in the small town of Castle Rock, Maine. The shop is owned by a strange man, Leland Gaunt, who seems to know exactly what each customer desires.
As the residents of the town begin to visit the shop, they find that they can finally obtain their deepest desires. However, the price for these items is far more than they bargained for, and soon chaos erupts as the town becomes increasingly corrupt and violent.
Sheriff Alan Pangborn becomes suspicious of the shop and begins to investigate Gaunt's background. As he delves deeper, he uncovers a dark history and a supernatural power that Gaunt possesses. The townspeople are eventually forced to confront the consequences of their actions and the price of their desires.
The movie features a star-studded cast including Max von Sydow as Leland Gaunt, Ed Harris as Sheriff Alan Pangborn, Bonnie Bedelia as Polly Chalmers, and J.T. Walsh as Danforth Keeton III. It was directed by Fraser C. Heston and received mixed reviews upon its release, but has since gained a cult following.
