DarkSideofFilm Wrote:What is your favorite King adaptation?As I said, it's gotta be Pet Sematary. Manages to both be faithful to the book (My favorite King book so far) and very frightening on it's own. I'd say Cujo comes in second.
I really like Misery and Carrie as well, but I'm a bit more indecisive about them because they left some very interesting parts of their novels absent. In their defense, a lot of that stuff would likely not have translated well to the films, and in the same vein both movies also had new elements that were done just as well as or even better than the book.
âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
