Well, I guess the biggest problem is that King is not the kind of author whose work can be easily translated on screen... A considerable part of the impact of his writing (at least the way I see it, anyway) is due to the fact that he pays a lot of attention to what's going on inside his characters' minds... And, besides that, many of his texts are not only horror stories, but pretty accurate pictures of the "american way of life", you know... And such subtleties tend to get lost, specially when the horror movie business is in a state in which it goes, most of the time, for the shallow/easy stuff.
That said... Hell, what have they done to Desperation?!?!?!
