Sounds like a typical Stephen King adaptation. I've never read a King book, but the movie adaptations of his writing that I've seen count the worthwhile in the minority. They seem to me largely a Mulligan stew of "creepy" elements, thrown together haphazardly with little justification for them appearing in the same story.

Yes, I'm sure Mr. King hangs his head in shame all the way to the bank. I'll bet the bank tellers don't even know what he looks like, since he never looks them in eye.
That poor man . . .
