Yes, like "The Shining" (1980). I wouldn't call it pathetic
I'd call 1980's The Shining worse than pathetic. I thought it was just a dreadful version of the book!! Jack Nicholson was way too over the top. And Shelley Duvall (who's normally quite good) was horribly miscast. If I'd been Steven King, I would have sued Diane Johnson, Stanley Kubrick and Warner Bros. on every conceivable charge that my lawyers could have come up with!
The 1997 miniseries with Steven Weber and Rebecca De Mornay was a much more faithful adaptation - and an infinitely better version to boot!
