Having read the book, I knew what to expect, but man oh man, did they ever get the balance wrong. Instead of focusing on the after surgery stuff where he goes crazy and kills people, they spent the first hour focusing entirely on the surgery, going in to WAY too much detail. It picks up after that with some genuinely creepy stuff (maybe even a moment that inspired Kubrick in the Shining?) but that first hour... yikes... it's what fast forward buttons are made of.
