Sort of in the same boat, but I also feel like that is a specific case of a book to movie adaptation in that it feels like it’s meant to be watched before reading the book and that it knows that it is not the book. Coscarelli seems to have intentionally done the film in a way to not spoil the book because they knew there was no way they could ever make a proper adaptation without a budget like Endgame had, but they still managed really nail the feel of the book and characters, and that opening primer is so integral to that feel.
