Quote:Is that the original one? I love the Shining...it's the only Stephen King movie that I've actually enjoyed. As good as his books are...the movies for them are craptastic!! Pet Sematary?? What the heck was that??? It was if they were trying to make a comedy and forgot to put in the funny stuff!! :blink:



The Ring is the last scary movies that gave me the heebie jeebies. I like horror movies that do not rely on blood and guts to make a point.

 

Yep, it's the original.  Stephen King was livid because Kubrick took artistic liberties with it.  I thought he vastly improved the story.  King eventually had the movie remade to model the book and it was a boring, made-for-TV yawn fest.

 

The Tommyknockers was another book with a train wreck movie.  Jimmy Smits?  Really? 

 

However, The Stand was made into a good movie.
