Summary
A mysterious shopkeeper named Leland Gaunt opens a curio store called Needful Things in the small town of Castle Rock, Maine, offering each customer the one item they desire most. His prices seem cheap, but every purchase requires a small prank against another townsperson, and as the favors escalate, long-simmering grudges erupt into violence that threatens to consume the town. The local sheriff races to uncover Gaunt's true nature before Castle Rock destroys itself.
Needful Things is a 1993 crime, drama and fantasy film.
