King on Screen Scratches the Surface of the Vast World of Stephen King Adaptations
director Daphné Baiwir has her work cut out for her, and the documentary could have benefited from a more focused approach. It opens like a narrative—a Maine road trip starring Baiwir that’s packed with King-ly Easter eggs—that goes on for over seven minutes, long enough to make the viewer briefly wonder if they’ve pressed play on the wrong movie.
Eventually, the frame story gives way to a more traditional documentary format of talking heads, including several directors who’ve made more than one King-inspired work, and clips to illustrate its discussion of the themes and elements that make King such an appealing storyteller. He’s fond of small-town settings and folksy characters—he’s particularly good at creating authentic kid characters—and he’s extremely fond of isolating those characters and trapping them in scary situations.
