What happens

The Dark Half is a 1993 American supernatural horror film written and directed by George A. Romero, and starring Timothy Hutton, Amy Madigan, Michael Rooker, Julie Harris, and Royal Dano in his final film role. An adaptation of the 1989 novel of the same name by Stephen King, the film follows a writer whose personal and writerly alter ego begins to commit a series of murders. Hutton's performance was commended but overall reviews were mixed, and The Dark Half was a box office disappointment. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
