The sci-fi drama The Life of Chuck is based on a Stephen King short novella of the same name, which is included in the 2020 story collection called If It Bleeds. The screenplay and film are written and directed by Mike Flanagan (Gerald’s Game, Doctor Sleep). The film is broken down into three acts told in reverse chronological order. Despite being based on a Stephen King story, this is not a horror film and is drama …

Though Tom Hiddleston takes top billing, the film really belongs to his younger iteration from Benjamin Pajak. Both (and Jacob Tremblay) play “Chuck” at various stages of his life as it retrospectively interweaves the lives of others in their small community. We start at the end, sort of thing, with the Earth of teacher “Marty” (Chiwitel Ejiofor) facing an apocalyptic end surrounded by posters of a “Chuck” whom nobod…
