Spoiler alert: If you haven’t seen Richard Dutcher’s murder mystery Brigham City and you want to enjoy the suspense of the story, don’t keep reading past this point. I’m going to give it all away in just a few sentences.

This is a little random - but just thought I’d mention it anyway.

I was recently scanning a copy of Stephen King’s book “The Dead Zone” and part of the storyline reminded me of what I saw in Richard Dutcher’s movie “Brigham City.” The characters Frank Dodd (of the Dead Zone) and Terry Woodruff (of Brigham City) both happen to be sheriff deputies and serial killers.

There are major differences between the associated plot lines - but the similar characteristics are still interesting.I can’t find an online script for “Brigham City” - perhaps I haven’t looked hard enough - but I suspect it hasn’t been transcribed or made available. I think it would be interesting to compare parts of the Brigham City movie script with portions of Stephen King’s book. It seems to me that the friendship between sheriff and deputy and the consequent discovery and horror experienced by the sheriffs might be a worthwhile comparison.
