Interesting points you make on director Garris. He was the one on stage last year interviewing John Carpenter at The Egyptian for the JC retrospective. His '97 redux for THE SHINING is more faithful to King's novel (it's this book I think that really began to garner him more fans back in the day), but it lacks the visual and atmospheric panache Kubrick gave his version. No surprise that across movie fans (and even King aficionados) that its Kubrick's which holds up over the years. Although, I must admit I do like Carpenter's ep's in MASTERS OF HORROR. Perhaps they're <i>paycheck</i> films, but you know they're JC's ;-). Wonderful review.
