    There are bad adaptations, and then there’s the Dark Tower, which was akin to a full palm-open slap to the fans while desperately hoping they could maybe appeal to some movie goers that were unfamiliar with the books, which it failed to do spectacularly.

      Most of Steven King books end up this way. It’s pretty much expected at this point.

        Hey now, The Mist, The Shining, Salem’s Lot, Storm of the Century, 1408, Rose Red (Depending on your tastes of course, it’s bad, but very watchable) that would like a word. Hell, Silver Bullet and Maximum Overdrive Are also not bad if you enjoy less than great movies.
