The movie got ruined by Darabont's ending but was otherwise exactly the way I've always envisioned the short story in my head. The short story itself is tied for my favorite King book with the Long Walk, which Darabont is doing next/I'm kinda looking forward to because TLW can only be shot as a B movie. Dreamcatcher/DT V-VII are by far the worst of his books - nothing he wrote before the accident is in the same league.

The Gunslinger posted:Darabont's ending wasn't horribly far off the mark. They were sitting around in a hotel room running out of supplies without any hope, their car had run out of gas and they could still hear the massive things walking around outside. The character is even contemplating suicide or something if I recall correctly. Hennergy posted:I preferred the hopelessness of the originals ending. One word is Hartford. The other is hope. I mean, yeah, it's not a happy ending by any means, but it's not the total pit of despair that you're making it out to be. (Okay, pretty close. But the point was that we don't know what happened.) I did read King's comments, and it's hard to disagree with the story's author, but let's just say I do and leave it at that

Ghidzilla posted:Has anyone read 'The Plant'? The idea of a vampire plant is appealing, but I imagine King hosed it up somehow. It's good that you jogged my memory on that because, if true, it's really gotta qualify for the title just by virtue of being such a hilarious trainwreck.
