What they share

Both films are directed by Fraser Clarke Heston. If that's the register that drew you to Needful Things, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Treasure Island is

An inn ends up busier than expected when pirate casualties outnumber check-ins. A teenage amateur inherits a dead captain’s treasure map and sails into mutiny territory. The moral compass points straight at the ship’s cook.
