Bah! I disliked it immensely. Carpenter's first real "miss" imho.
Best film based on a King novel would naturally be The Shining. Yeah, I know, King hates Kubrick's film. Fuck King! Kubrick took a novel that couldn't be made into a film as it was and added his own ideas to it and created a horror masterpiece. Haters can hate all they want to. The Shining will be discussed and dissected by film lovers the world over for centuries to come. -

love how just 5 minutes after i made this you are on here. a constant presence on here
what in the word did you dislike about this masterpiece? i mean it's enjoyable, lovable and respectable for and to both groups, the non academia movie lovers and the film scholars, historians.
king hates, deplores the shining. said it was like a restored cadillac with no engine. thus, no soul, an empty film which misses the point of his book.
this is like raping an author here. would you appreciate a filmmaker totally missing the point of your book? also nicholson overacts. and acts funny in the conversation with the office guy scene instead of crazy.
