one of the biggest reasons is the shallowness od the characters. jack already seems unhinged, wendy just runs around screaming and danny is just some kid. where as in the book they are all incredibly nuanced and realized

like >!jack breaking danny's arm!<. in the movie wendy sounds kinda sounds like an idiot when she talks about it like "oh he gets mad sometimes haha", where as in the book its an incredibly nuanced and layered trauma that the family is working though.
