King adaptations are such a letdown, for the most part.
They always were for me, even when I was reading King books, but trust me "Langoliers" broke fresh ground in bad (laughably). The best King screen adaptation was hands-down "The Shining", and when I saw it after reading the book I was disgusted.
I think the appeal of King, who rarely resorts to overplaying the gore in describing the deaths of his characters, is mostly the psychological subtext in his storytelling style - this is not something which can be easily portrayed by most film people, especially those who are low enough to shoot horror flicks.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
