George Romero's The Dark Half, based upon the book by Stephen King, is an oddly interesting, and darkly humorous take, possibly with a bit of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde at its cortex.
Two sequences stand out in my memory. The first occurs on an operating room table at the opening of the film, and it's a simple, yet elegant standout.
The other, in a possible tip of the hat to The Birds, just your mind working.
The Dark Half, is another very nice Blu-ray from MGM via Scream Factory. Everything looks right here.
Thinking about Hitchcock's The Birds, its one-liner advance marketing came to mind...
"The Birds is coming..."
