Overall I thought it was really good. Fell into some traps that the mini-series fell into as well and while its possible that maybe there's material in the books that explains things a little, I was taken out of the movie a couple of times to wonder about things.

I loved that it didn't rely on shitty jump scares. Sure there are some and thats fine, but it takes a much better film to scare you or creep you out without resorting to them all the time.
