Review: 'Lisey's Story' Gets Stuck Between Horror and Hokey-ness

The Quint  

Stephen King adapts his own 2006 novel Lisey’s Story for the screen in an eight-part miniseries for Apple TV+. She is supported by a cast which includes Clive Owen as Scott, and Joan Allen and Jennifer Jason Leigh as Lisey’s sisters Amanda and Darla respectively. Though King prized Lisey’s Story as his favourite in a prolific career, the book was not exactly one of the most cherished triumphs. Before his death, Scott had left Lisey clues in a “bool hunt” to help her recall repressed memories about him.
