Watching this after reading the book I can see why Stephen king was annoyed with it.
Jack Nicholson looked unhinged from the beginning which means there isn't much difference in his decent into madness.
Certain characters from the book are left out, where are the bees? Where are the moving ani mail bushes? The boiler is barely mentioned.
The direction is brilliant and I love the blood down the elevator shaft scene.
