Made seventeen years after Stanley Kubrick's claustrophobic masterpiece, this    sprawling adaptation of Stephen King's best-seller hews more closely to the      author's intended vision. King famously hated Kubrick's adaptation, and he       steps in to write this version, which takes its time etching the tale of an    alcoholic caretaker's spiraling descent into madness. With Steven Weber,       Rebecca De Mornay, Elliott Gould, and Melvin Van Peebles.                      Mick Garris---USA---1997---273 mins.
