His ending for “Gerald’s Game” is atrocious, and you’d be better off turning this off about ten minutes before the credits and just imagining what happens. I’ll say this—he does about as good a job with King’s ending as I think he possibly could have, even finding a neat visual trick in the closing scenes that helps tie Jessie’s story together thematically.

Be advised of some spoilers ahead.
There is an old trick, or so the movies tell us, to putting someone through torture. It’s not enough to simply hurt them, you have to show them exactly what you’re going to do to them first. You have to hint at the danger that is to come. A knife cuts in an instant. Waiting for that fateful moment when it finally slices you is, arguably, even worse.
Mike Flanagan understands this premise all too well. The opening scenes of his new film Gerald’s Game, based on the novel by Stephen King, lay out all the film’s implements with elegant cruelty. The packed suitcase, lingerie inside. The other packed suitcase, don’t forget the handcuffs. The long winding drive to a lonely little cabin. A mangy, hungry dog. A door left open. A little bottle of viagra.
Gerald’s Game is a set of tightly wound gears that cranks out dread. Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood are as superb as they have ever been, relishing in the opportunity to ask and answer all the big and little questions about Jessie, within the confines of an exquisite, simple, torturously suspenseful thriller.
