SYNOPSIS:
A mysterious new shop opens in a small town which always seems to stock the deepest desires of each shopper, with a price far heavier than expected.
Plot
In the shop of the kind Leland Gaunt, everyone can find what they've always dreamed of for a ridiculously low price. However, these acquisitions are poisoned and awaken hatred and jealousy. Petty conflicts turn to mu..er, to apocalypse. Only Sheriff Pangborn escapes the wiles of the one who could very well be the Devil.
A mysterious proprietor named Leland Gaunt (Max von Sydow), claiming to be from Akron, Ohio, arrives in the small town of Castle Rock, Maine in a sinister-looking black car and opens a new antique store called "Needful Things".
The store sells various items of great personal worth to the residents (some of which, like a pendant that eases pain or a toy which predicts the outcome of horse races, are clearly supernatural). Gaunt demands payment both in cash and in small "favors"
Gaunt takes a personal measure towards Sheriff Pangborn (Ed Harris) by giving a necklace to his fiancée Polly Chalmers (Bonnie Bedelia) that cures her crippling arthritis. Gaunt tells Polly for it to work she must never take it off.
Pangborn begins to suspect that Gaunt may not be what he seems. he tries to warn Polly and asks her to get rid of the necklace, but she is unwilling to remove it. After Alan has gone she tries prying the necklace open to see what is inside and gets an electric shock which throws the necklace across the room. Polly is immediately crippled by her arthritis and cannot reach to pick up the necklace. Gaunt appears in her bedroom and replaces the necklace on Polly's neck. He states the price for necklace will be $20 and a small prank. Polly is so grateful, she pays him immediately and is clearly mesmerized by Gaunt who then seduces her.
Cheating Notes:
Polly Chalmers goes to Leland Gaunt’s house/shop and begs him to get her some medicine for her arthritis. He tells her that he has one. Leland Gaunt then has Polly placed on a chair and takes out a necklace. Polly wants to know what it is.
He tells her that it’s an antique necklace that came from Egypt. Leland unbuttons Poly’s blouse and puts the necklace around her neck. As soon as the necklace touches her skin, (she gets an electric shock and Polly has a premonition)
She sees herself making love with Leland!
Back home, Pangborn notices the necklace that Polly is wearing. (It is impossible to miss it, a necklace with a metal pendant that has the shape of a butt plug)
Pangborn asks her to remove it, but Polly objects. Pangborn is upset and leaves.
Next scene: Poly is in her room, sitting in front of her makeup vanity. She is dressed in a transparent nightgown that highlights her big breasts, with the imposing pendant nestled in the middle of her breasts.
Poly takes a knife and makes an attempt to open the pendant. She receives an electric shock and the necklace flies away. She begins to sweat and feels a great pain in her hands. She tries to put it back, but she can’t. because of the pain.
Leland arrives from nowhere and takes the necklace. He asks her if she wants him to give it to her. She wishes to know what is inside. (She should rather ask him how he entered her room.)
Poly and Leland are now alone in the room. Poly is sweaty and her nightgown is wet, which shows her nipples. Leland can then get an eyeful.
After putting the necklace around her neck, Leland asks her for 20 dollars for the necklace. Poly gets up and goes to get him the money.
Leland asks her for 20 dollars and to do him a sexual favor!
Poly is now lying in bed. (We don’t know if it’s Leland who carried her.)
She seems to have agreed to accomplish what he asked her (the sexual favor). Leland begins to talk to her about her fiancé and say negative things about him, claiming that he is corrupt. And that he will only hurt her.
Then, he installs her on the bed and begins to give her a kiss on the neck. She makes efforts to resist, but Leland tells her that he has always loved women who are proud of themselves. Then he gives her a long kiss. At the end of the kiss, Poly let out a little moan! Leland is delighted. (There is a difference between this scene and that of the premonition.)
