That's sort of why I like it it's not so much that it is 'scare the shit out of you' terrifying

Overall, I find the movie to be far more intimate a scare than the story. I can't see any reason to believe that his escape attempt worked, that the room has any physical space for him to burn at this point when it can transport him through time and space on a whim to anywhere within his memory, or even allow him to create new memories from old experiences. There is definitely no happiness in the final ending. In this way it draws its final scare from the overall superior King story That Feeling, You Can Only Say It In French. That he can't ever escape, even in death, because the room now controls everything about his perceptions and his reality. It's pretty heavily implied that he never escaped. I also don't understand your critique about making the characters have a happy ending. It's just such a bland scare without any soul or personality. In fact, generic is a good word of the experience as a whole. There is no assault on reality other than generic spooky imagery like Enslin's severed head and an unearthly glow from the walls opening up. I really can't see anything like what you discuss feeling from the short story.

The story misses all of the wonderful psychological horror and experiences of the main character and instead just calls the room spooky because it is without further explanation like a more poorly executed version of Wells' 'The Red Room.'ДЄs soon as the room itself comes into play in the story, it loses all sense of pacing. The only thing I prefer about the short story to the movie is the beginning, and the added emphasis and build-up.
