The Institute review – this is how you butcher a Stephen King novel

Based on the novel of the same name:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Institute_(King_novel)

The basic plot - kids with psychic abilities kidnapped and conscripted into service - is a common theme with King.

Notably, they were used in the Dark Tower series as "breakers", attempting to shatter the force beams pinned to the world by the Dark Tower itself. Break the beams, the Tower falls, and King's shared universe collapses.
