Mr. Harrigan's Phone is an artless, bricked version of Stephen King's novella. JacobOller's review of the Netflix adaptation:
Reading the autumnal work of a decades-spanning master like Stephen King is enriched not only by the experience that comes with age, but by the shifting ages themselves. With King especially, as a writer who made injections of pop culture—listening to the Stones, drinking Coke, popping an Advil—one of his down-to-earth signatures, watching him acclimate to and integrate new technology into his stories is a rare perspective-shifting gift., is an ode to the iPhone.
His film also demonstrates a misunderstanding of the story’s emotional core. Craig delivers a weepy speech, an opportunity to confess his affection for Harrigan in a way that King’s character never got. So when Harrigan eventually dies and King’s inevitably supernatural turn comes, there’s nothing left unsaid—the relatable sentiment inside an otherwise silly-sounding “texting with a ghost” premise—that would drive Craig to desire communication with the departed.
“EVERYTHING HARRIGAN TOUCHES DIES,” screams one particularly prescient on-the-nose headline. Harrigan’s a far crueler man in the film, a socialism-hating industrialist blamed for a thieving employee’s suicide. The ex-employee, fired by his “rich asshole” boss according to a local trailer park stereotype, painted “FU H” on his garage before driving in and breathing in the exhaust. “Nobody could figure what it meant,” the stereotype claims.
