Nothing special here, and no wheels are reinvented. That being said, 1922 does a hell of a good job telling a story, backed up by solid acting and great score. Most of all, nobody is trying to do achieve the unachieveable; everyone's targets are on point and, most importantly, are achieved. And if you take into consideration the mediocre record of King's adaptations, 1922 might just very well be one of the best ones out there.
