I had just finished the book in about 4 days because I could not put it down, thought it was AMAZING and was excited to see the movie. After about 5 minutes, I was very very let down.
Looked horrible, huge plot changes. Changed people's names from the book for no reason? Matt Burke is Jason Burke, Floyd Tibbets is now named Ned, Where did Dr. Cody go?? I don't get it. Barlow was a smart vampire in the book and is now a hissing beast thing. I think a remake with a good director and King writing the screenplay is needed. Had to force myself to finish. I find for some reason all of Stephen King's books are turned into horrible movies (exceptions: Stand by Me and Shawshank Redemption).
