Ouch! Yes, that made me cringe... as it should, to be fair.
Just saw the film tonight. That was really well done.
Spoiler:
I have mixed feelings concerning the very ending, where she confronts 'the moonlight man'. I think it's faithful to the novel (but it's a while since I actually saw it) but I think I'd prefer it if it were left ambiguous as to whether or not it was this man or a supernatural creature, or figment of her imagination. I. E. Leave in the radio announcement at the start concerning grave robbing, and maybe even drop in one or two other references that you can work out if paying attention if you want the serial killer interpretation, but don't spell it out, so one can come to one's own conclusions.
On the other hand, I enjoyed that confrontation itself and her reaction echoing that line from earlier in the film "You're smaller than I remember." It was nice to show the character was getting closure and overcoming her fears.
I'm kind of undecided...
Oh yeah, The Dark Tower and Dolores Claiborn references thrilled me!
Yeah, I'm one of those people that never reacts, jumps, or gets grossed out by stuff in horror films, and even I was cringing and covering my eyes during THAT scene. So well done, Gerald's Game!!!
