The Worst Stephen King Adaption

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2008)

This was by far the worst Stephen King adaption ever. That's not to say the movie was bad, quite the contrary, but it had little connection between the short story, Characters and some phrases aside, and the movie. Thats very good though as I found the book a little lacklustre while the movie was masterful. The plot was much more involving and much more involved. The characters seemed more like real people. I particularly enjoyed how the room itself looked much normal and unassuming than any hotel room You'll ever stay in. Also the lighting in the film was amazing and reflected moods, as well as accentuate the rising drama and horror. One of the best part of the films didn't even come from the dialog but from their expressions and the tone of their voices. The actors in this paint a believable as well as a beautiful portrait. A definite must see for horror fans or just people looking for a gripping and engaging story this is it.
