I strongly disagree… It was deus ex machina trash with a twist. Using the original ending would have left the audience wanting closure and not getting it. Instead, they wrapped it up nice and tight and King got to murder another kid.
I completely agree with you. I’ve left very similar comments whenever this movie’s come up in the past, and someone always shows up to say “Even King agrees the movie ending’s better!” Well, it’s bullshit.

It was narratively consistent. Other world, no way home, found a way home at a steep cost.

Right? King, who’s endorsed and even appeared in some of the worst adaptations of his books. He’s truly a master, but a movie writer he is not…
