The Overview:\u00a0 Beware of spoilers…<\/p>\n

As the residents of the small remote Little Tall Island off the coast of Maine, prepare for a blizzard that is predicted to be the storm of the century, a murderer is discovered sitting in a chair, eating cookies next to the corpse of the old woman that he beat to death with a cane.\u00a0 Mike Anderson (Daly), store owner and part-time constable and his deputy bring the stranger in to the jail cell located in the back of Anderson’s store.\u00a0 Because of the storm, all transportation to the island is shut down.\u00a0 They’ll have to hold him until the storm passes.<\/p>\n

The man gives his name as Andr\u00e9 Linoge (Feore). He tells Anderson and those watching, “Give me what I want, and I’ll go away.”\u00a0 Linoge has information about Anderson and others that no one could possibly know.\u00a0 He also seems to have ability to make folks do things against their will.\u00a0 When two people commit suicide and “Give me what I want and I’ll go away” is found written beside them, they start to believe that Linoge is a demon.\u00a0 As the storm worsens, Linoge displays more powers, inflicting hallucinations and causing people to commit murder.\u00a0 If they give Linoge what he wants, will he really go away?\u00a0 And what could he possibly want?<\/p>\n

Storm of the Century<\/em> is a three part mini-series that creates a slow burn as we’re introduced to Linoge and come to realize that he may be more than an evil man.\u00a0 Tim Daly was excellent as the level-headed, moral part time constable\/store owner.\u00a0 Jeffrey DeMunn was perfect as the unlikable town manager.\u00a0 Equally as good was Colm Feore as the menacing\u00a0 Andr\u00e9 Linoge.\u00a0 As a viewer, you cannot help but think about what you would do in that situation.\u00a0 Would you give him what he wants?<\/p>\n

Storm of the Century <\/strong><\/em>earns 4 of 5 stars.<\/span><\/p>\n
