Title: The short story was much better
Product review: This movie had alot of potential - great story and excellent cast - but it didn't work well for me. There are very few King books that translate well on the big screen (with a few notable exceptions) and this one just didn't work for me. The movie really had little to do with King's story, aside from the fact that the protagonist is a writer doing a story about a 'haunted' hotel room. Perhaps I would have liked this movie more if I had not already read the story. In any event, this isn't an awful movie, it just didn't live up to my expectations.
