Great for a King Movie

Rating: 9/10 (20 June 2007)

Like other posters have said, King's work rarely shows up on screen in the amazing way it does on paper, but this movie changed that. The casting was great and my friends and i felt genuinely scared watching the movie, something you don't feel often with the movies that are out in theater today. Basically, the ending is different from the short story ending: the short story ends with him coming out of the room emotionally scarred, but the movie ends with him trapped in the room forever. The story ending works well for the story ending, but wouldn't have done well for the movie ending, so even though I hate major changes in movies based on books, the change of ending was a change of the better.
Overall a good movie to see, worth the $10 or so you spend watching it. You will be on edge of your seat & its a movie well enjoyed.
