Dull

Rating: 2/10 (27 October 2019)

Having never read the book I can only make my review on this film which I am suspecting are two very different beasts.
The couple do not look like a couple nor look like they have a kid. The family are not believable. The mother I wanted to slap constantly throughout the film. On the whole I am wracking my brain to figure out just how this has been rated as one of the most brilliant horrors of all time. I do not even class it as a horror. Not one insy winsy bit frightening. It was far too long and drawn out. Yes the scene where blood flowed from the hotel was spooky but I can honestly see why Mr King did not like this film either. At least I can say I have watched it. Being 51 years of age and just sat through it today fully, the first time I saw half of it, I can now write my review and advise those only to watch it to say they have seen it. Would never ever watch it again.
