The story believable. My only complaint is sometimes good actors whisper & the audio wasn't adjusted properly, so you will have to keep adjusting it. Sadly, this is a true-to-life type of film. I wouldn't show it to someone who has mental illness issues. It might be good for parents to show it to their teens, (tweens?) & explain some safety issues with them. I don't want to give up the story, but safety issues:1) Your daughters should know that it's unsafe to run off alone with (even sometimes when there's two or three friends) with a stranger. No matter how cute & sweet he is...There are girls who have gotten murdered this way, even from a 'friend' of the family.2) Your kids should not go to a stranger's home, even the boys. Never threaten someone because they might be demented enough to murder you.3) Never invite a stranger to live in your home, even if it's a relative. You have to get to know them first or your family could be in grave danger. It sounds harsh, but too many families have been hurt by this...4) If you lie about your past or present life, it will come back to bite you in the behind. I've seen some Christians do this. It's called living a lie & from a Christian perspective that opens the door to the devil. Some folks call it karma.Overall, I believe you will like this film, especially if you are a fan of Gael Bernal. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good Film *by D***M on Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2013* I'm pretty sure I wrote some review about this movie a few years ago, but oh well...This movie really surprised me because I wasn't expecting to like it at all. I had never heard of Gael Garcia Bernal, and figured he'd just been some random, untalented actor. I was blown away by his and everyone else's performances. I really liked the feel of normalcy you get from the characters and the situation. I found myself saying to myself, "Darn, except for a few twists and turns this could actually be someone's family/life!"So, what happens in the movie one might say? Bernal plays Elvis who has just been discharged from the Navy. He wants to go to Texas to find his father. Well, that doesn't turn out well at all because daddy doesn't want to claim Elvis for various reasons. Elvis stays in Texas, near his father, finds a job, and meets a girl. What could be wrong with that, except everything!One slowly sees that even though Elvis shows no real feelings about being rejected by his father, everything that Elvis is doing is due to rage and wanting to get even with his father. Basically, Elvis is a sweet psychopath who looks damn adorable doing very bad things. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A horror movie, but not in the sense that you are used to. *by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2009* After being discharged from the Navy, a disturbed young man named Elvis (Gael Garcia Bernal) seeks out his father, whom he has never met. When his father (William Hurt), now a preacher, rejects him, Elvis seeks revenge on his father through his father's new family."The King" is a "horror" movie, but not in the sense that you are probably used to. According to the "letter from the director", that is included in the DVD case of this movie, "The King" was partially inspired by the horror movies that the director saw in his youth, including "Brimstone and Treacle", a film about a strange young man who makes his way into the family of a middle-aged writer. That plot is pretty much the same as that of "The King" (except the bit about the writer), but to call this film a "horror" film would be misleading. The term "horror" usually evokes images of supernatural monsters or knife-wielding maniacs. Elvis is not a maniac and he is very much a human being. What this film deals with is the horrors that human beings are capable of, given the right (or wrong) circumstances.I can imagine that this film might not be to everyone's tastes. It is slow moving to begin with, and the subject matter is often unpleasant (including the incestuous relationship that forms between Elvis and his half-sister). However, if you're not put off by the plot description, it is a well written and well acted movie (Hurt is in his best role in years and Bernal is always excellent) that takes some interested turns along the way. It's definitely worth giving a try. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/19151169-the-king-dvd](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/19151169-the-king-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
