Synopsis:

Leland Gaunt (Max von Sydow) opens a new shop in Castle Rock called Needful Things. Anyone who enters his store finds the object of his or her lifelong dreams and desires.  It’s not long before friends and neighbors begin turning against each other and only Sheriff Alan Pangborn (Ed Harris) suspects that Gaunt is behind the population’s increasingly violent behavior.  His distrust causes a rift in his relationship with his girlfriend, Polly (Bonnie Bedelia), who has been seduced by Gaunt and so Pangborn must try to save his town alone.
