I also have issue with how they describe Seattle in the early 20th century (this is not a small town or a scenic overlook hotel, this is a city with a good harbor and a famous market. The Steven King Drinking Game: The Movie or Rose Red shows a lot of the issues with some of King's writing, or at least why there is a drinking game that is known for causing death.

The Syfy Shining miniseries had a better 'happy ending'. It's great that you have bitter!Shining child and remade!Carrie as our focus but do we have to undermine the others because of that, to the point where they go into the house and everyone starts dying but it's ok, it's a 'dead cell' that I want to restart it because SCIENCE'? The house takes NORMAL PEOPLE in that history lesson the professor gives us to require multiple flashbacks.maybe it doesn't need psychic kids, but people who have no inherent ability to realize they're walking into death-trap? That would make it far more interesting, that in this case it's the ones that the professor thinks will be her 'bait' become the ones who can see the house as it really is, and who work to save the others trapped recently in the mansion before it's destruction.Įxcept for the professor, she can stay there. You also live in a world where you can get FIVE PSYCHICS into a room and at least TWO strong psychics in the SAME GENERAL AREA. Your daughter is AUTISTIC and PSYCHIC, not EVIL, and dogs don't bite without provocation or showing off multiple 'no touchie' signs. My main issue is some of the storytelling with the professor and with Annie's (the main psychic) family, who are more non-entities and cardboard cutouts with one setting, all of which makes me upset because it's set in 2002, even then you don't treat autistic kids like this you asshats. The only thing to be the cherry on top of this King Sundae is that the house was also designed by the guy who did the Overlook Hotel.Īlso, I don't care how rich you are, 40 acre mansion in the middle of turn-of-the-century Seattle isn't gonna fly. So the team of SEVEN PSYCHICS OF VARYING PSYCHIC ABILITIES, ALL OF WHOM CAN PSYCHIC AND IT SHOWS THEY CAN PSYCHIC UP ANY PSYCHIC THING, all go into the OBVIOUSLY EVIL HOUSE OF HAUNTINGS AND MURDER.
