Rose is much less easily provoked and manipulated and mostly reacts with Tranquil Fury to the deaths of her comrades.

Snakebite Andi, rather than screaming the name of her abusive father as she is tortured to death, manages to pull a Taking You with Me and goes out with a smile.

He dies being taunted by Abra the same way Rose does in the book.

Crow Daddy dies the same way as Umbrae in Us, being catapulted through a windscreen and into a tree, rather than being forced to turn a gun on himself by Abra's superior mental powers.

Adaptational Badass: The True Knot in general.

King even initially conceived of the True Knot in the book as a group of retirees traveling the country in RVs looking for prey, whereas here they come across more like a mix of New Age Retro Hippies and somewhat wealthy homeless people. The movie shows them as being more conventionally attractive (with the exception of Rose, who's still beautiful), and considerably younger than their book counterparts. In the novel, while they usually appear human, their true form is a monstrous kind of Humanoid Abomination with elongated mouths, which they turn into when they feed.

Adaptational Attractiveness: The True Knot as a whole.

Here, while Rose and Crow are still romantically linked, Rose has more of a 'mentor/pupil' dynamic regarding Andi so as to reflect the similar relationship between Dan and Abra.

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In the book, Rose the Hat is part of a polyamorous romance with both Crow Daddy and Snakebite Andi.

Actor Allusion: Ewan McGregor plays someone with powerful telepathic abilities who acts as a mentor to someone far younger with similar and also very powerful abilities and continues in that role even after dying.

Abandoned Area: The Overlook Hotel became one after Jack's rampage.
