I've got personal beef with about 95% of King adapted films as for some reason I can't get on with his lack of originality and at times his works feel overly complicated and pretentious but nevertheless I went into this with some knowledge of its appreciation. I wouldn't go as far as saying I enjoyed it as it felt a bit bland as you'd expect from a film which essentially depicts cabin fever in some form it's really at times very outdrawn and bland, however for every 10 minutes of boredom there is a good handful of entertaining moments and really ingenious use of film form which require 100% attention and lack satisfying pay offs. But as you might expect, you can't really save a film from the odd moment and such it's largely uninteresting and frankly does have many close running parallels to Psycho now I think about. A lesser film than its 'inspiration' the performances and the odd moment are really all you can take away from this, but in fairness it's in my bracket of 'liked' (and I use that word very lightly) King adaptations
