It's 1976, and popular college co-ed Elizabeth meets an unusual boy, Edward, who knows what she needs. But who is Edward really, and what secrets is he hiding? It's a love story, but a Stephen King love story, so things aren't always what they seem. Elizabeth doesn't know what she wants, but Edward knows what she needs. 

Based on Stephen King's story from the 1978 Night Shift collection - I Know What You Need is an after school special that dissolves into terror in this faithful adaptation of King's tale, filmed on location at the University of Maine, where the story takes place – we’re very happy to have this chilling feminist tale kicking off GASP! 2024.
