I never read the book, so for anyone who would know...


Until the end, anything Michael did to the room in the way of destroying it, rolled back with the clock. That is until he torched the room at the end. So why didn't the room roll back with the clock then? What was different about torching the room from any other way it was destroyed before?

Because as he said, only fire is real. Fire destroys evil all the time.

The movie was alright, but the short story is better. King's description of what happens to the hero in that room is incredible.
