Wendy's hot in the book, and Melvin Van Peebles as Dick is spot on!I'm with King in that I don't fully understand why people are frightened by the movie, and I'm glad he made the miniseries.
Especially as it had the spooky topiary animals instead of a boring hedge maze.
There's a scene toward the end where Jack is trying to wrench back control from the hotel to save Danny, and Weber's performance as he keeps vacillating is a really great bit of acting.
Incidentally, Steven Weber also read the audiobook version of 'It' and that's pretty good, too.

I need to rewatch the remake again at some pointwouldn’t say the film version was a horror story or scary movie. more like a thriller based in a haunted hotel but it is chock full of wtf moments and creepy as fuck :)

I read the book first but loved the film precisely because it's clearly Kubrick's.
Like a good cover version.
Got to be honest, from the clips I saw of the TV version it looked a bit... cheap. But then TV productions probably had a fraction of the budget of these days' HBO type stuff
