Based on Stephen King’s novel of the same name, 1922 on Netflix starts off a little slow setting up the mood and the background of the character, but eventually, the screenplay picks up and becomes more engaging. With quite a few twists and turns, I wouldn’t go as far as to say that the movie was unpredictable, but it was pretty damn close.
