I'm saying that the Kubrick movie is superior to the King movie. There might be parts of the book missing, but the creepiness and atmosphere of the Kubrick version is unparalleled in my opinion. As for the King movie, it might have been more faithful, and an ok movie, but it suffered from a lack of atmosphere and a very bad casting choice. Hell, that kid had "Disney adds" written all over his face!!!
