8/10
Frank Darabont's very first film and his very first Stephen King adaptation
4 June 2023
With this medium-length film, Frank Darabont already demonstrated that he was capable of making good adaptations of the works of Stephen King. This medium-length film has a good script and character development. The original story is short and brief and although some things were omitted here, Frank was able to expand the story a little more to give Johnny's psychological profile more depth. From applying that he is a lawyer who talks with a death row inmate, to the nightmare he has, he does a lot to show the mental crisis that Johnny is going through. Also, that makes the medium-length film somewhat Stephen King-esque, as the original story is a dramatic story that describes Johnny's emotional state through some of his memories. The Woman In The Room is an acceptable adaptation and one that served to lead Frank Darabont to bring some of the best Stephen King adaptations. My final rating for this medium-length film is 8/10.
