What is Needful Things about? Toggle content

Welcome to Castle Rock, Maine, where the tranquil life is about to take a dark and sinister turn. When a new antique shop called 'Needful Things' opens its doors, the townspeople are immediately drawn in by its enigmatic proprietor, Leland Gaunt. Each person finds exactly what they desire, but at a steep price: they must play a seemingly harmless trick on one of their neighbors. However, these pranks quickly spiral out of control, leading to chaos and murder. As the town descends into madness, only Sheriff Alan Pangborn remains unaffected by Gaunt's charm. With the help of his deputy Norris Ridgewick and local resident Polly Chalmers, Pangborn must confront Gaunt and put an end to his evil plans before it's too late.
