Which part do they mention the hotel?
There was no Ebay back in 1990!
Paul wasn't drunk, remember it is mentioned he only has one glass of wine and one cigarette after he finishes a novel.
He got in an accident because of the bad snow storm. I don't think Annie caused the accident , I mean she admitted to following him but it doesn't really imply that she caused it. I assume when Paul was knocked out from the accident or was asleep she went to the store and had everything prepared or she probably used some of her old equipment she had when she was a nurse.
I read Misery, Carrie and The Shining
I did hear rumors' that they were remaking it . Considering they are reamaking a lot of the 90s movies I'm pretty sure they will eventually
The girl that played Cathy was ok , but ya not nearly as pretty as they make her sound in the book! She's also supposed to have like extra long hair in the book as well. The rest of the children were actually pretty close to the book though.
The Remake was definitely closer to the book. The 1987 version was ok and fun to watch but was an insult to the book really. They left out the main part of the story and did not develop the relationship between the kids at all. Also, Chis and Cathy are way older then thy are supposed to be in the book.
If your looking for a film version close to the book go with the TV 2014 remake :)
But in the book, they are all supposed to be very beautiful children like dolls. The remake was a lot closer to how they were supposed to look.
They looked creepy in the 1st one, well mainly Cory the boy . not like a beautiful doll at all !
I have to disagree....Lousie Fletcher was defiantly creepy and terrifying ...but Ellen Burstyn was actually very imitating and more violet as well in the remake than the first one! Remember how much she kept threating the children and had a very cruel abusive vibe.
I thought they both did well , in different ways .
There seemed to be a lot of incest in the family's background....however I don't think Cathy and Chris would have done it if they're father hadn't died and they didn't end up in that attic. Remember it was really because of the insolation and going through puberty and all being trapped together that made them get feelings for each other. I do think however that the truth about their parents being related would have come out another way though possibly and the mother would have eventually shown her true colors.
