Anyone who loved the novel, and the novel is amazing, will hate this movie. Key characters are left out. Plot lines that drive the story are cut. And Flanagan decided this would be a sequel to the movie "The shining" and not the book. It's my personal opinion that he took the umph out of the story in the same way he took the spooky, creepy, supernatural element out of his 'adaptationz' of "Gerald's Game" which by the way i also hated. I understand people who' who've never read the books looking there two films. But a warning to actual readers. See the films before you read the books. So that way you don't feel as let down as I do.
