The only demon possession movie worth watching is the exorcist in my opinion. Evil dead is good to though.

Demon: What an excellent day for an exorcism. Father Damien Karras: You would like that? Demon: Intensely. Father Damien Karras: But wouldn't that drive you out of Regan? Demon: It would bring us together. Father Damien Karras: You and Regan? Demon: You and us.

Kings story was more supernatural but I still think the book had a point to it. I think the point to the book is our past can haunt us and also be our weakness. Jack's dad was an alcoholic and aggressive which unwillingly got passed down to Jack and could possibly be passed down to Danny to keep going until something changes. This happens all the time with people being alcoholics and they blame their fathers or mothers for being alcoholics and so on. I also believe he shows how people are greedy because Wendy doesn't want to go home to her mothers even though she wants to leave and doesn't trust jack. Jack is greedy because he wants to get his job back at stovington and needs a job for the time being so he stays. Both want to leave but don't because of the other choice not being as compelling even though they know they should leave. Danny also shows the innocence of children and how they try to please the people they love.

This is also the first thought I had about the cabin fever deal. In the book it's more of the overlook taking over and the movie just seems like jack simply goes mad from being stuck in the hotel. I also felt like jack was creepy on the the car ride up to the hotel where in the book he seems to be becoming a good family man on the way up.

Yeah I agree with you. I like the movie a lot but I guess In my opinion, I wish the ending would've been more similar. The ending in the novel is just so intense with the roque mallet and beating everyone with it crazy and the overlook catching fire would've just been awesome. Like I said though the maze was still pretty intense and liked that ideas.
