The ending to Gerald's Game is one of the stupidest, most atonal things I've ever seen.

Never seen this, but did they make the mistake of making the ending of a Stephen King movie faithful to the ending of the book?

Yes, way too faithful. Comes out of nowhere and tries to tie up the themes in the most unsubtle way possible.

What makes it even worse is that it commits two great cinema sins, a character narrating an extremely poorly written letter to the audience explaining the plot of the movie, and a character awkwardly busting into a courtroom and interrupting the proceedings without security forcibly removing them or the judge shutting down their outburst.

It's especially bad because the rest of the film is actually much better than I expected.
