The Shining

Mike Flanagan's film adapts King's sequel novel but is written as a sequel to Kubrick's film, which King's book is not.

• The Overlook is rebuilt from Kubrick's sets for the finale, including the Gold Room and Room 237
• Kubrick's shots are restaged with new actors, from the Torrance family scenes to the Grady twins
• The Overlook is still standing when Dan returns, as it is at the end of Kubrick's film; in King's first novel it burned down

Kubrick's film adapts King's 1977 novel, credited on screen. It is also the most famous quarrel between an author and an adaptation: King has said for forty years that the film misses the book, because his Jack Torrance is a decent man destroyed by the hotel and Nicholson's is unstable from the first scene. The topiary animals, the boiler and the father's redemption are all gone.
