Summary: BEWARE!
Review: This is an incredible horror masterpiece directed by the late Stanley Kubrick. Some of the scenes in this movie are truly haunting and the movie is all together beutifuly pieced together. Jack Nicholson is wonderfully insane and terrifying. The soundtrack of this movie is also quite frightining and powerful. This movie isn't a generic teen slasher flick. This movie is breathtaking (literally) and relentless. Everybody who sees this movie and has any taste in movies will love this. Amazing!

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: I saw the movie late at night, sitting in the dark by myself. What an experience! Everything in the movie gave me chills. The kid is freaky, so is the mom and of course the incredible Jack Nicholson. Kubrick makes carpets look freaky; his camera angles give you the creeps (when Danny is playing in the hotel on his tricycle!) That movie, even though there is not one single drop of blood, is the scariest movie I have ever seen. Stanley Kuvrick was a genius!

Summary: A Classic, One Of the Greatest Movies of All Time
Review: Wow, what can I say? Stanley Kubrick was a genius, for onething. He created something that no other director could have donewith such a great book in the first place. Rent this movie, then buy it, then frame it. END

Summary: Great movie, but should have followed the book
Review: This movie is by far one of the best HORROR movies ever made. I saw it for the first time when I was in 6th grade, and haven't taken a bath since! This is my favorite movie and I enjoy it more and more each time I watch it. The only thing I don't like is that Kubrick went against King's wishes and didn't make it like the book. I think it would have been an even more popular movie if it had followed the book. But, I do have to say I LOVE THE MOVIE! IF YOU WANT TO SEE A GOOD HORROR, WATCH THIS ONE.

Summary: Hoped for much better on DVD
Review: This film is one of my all time favorites...I watch scenes of it all the time. I think that every actor and actress does a great job, especially Danny Lloyd, the son. Stanley Kubrick takes a different route with horror by giving the audience a psychotic twist and who better to deliver it than Jack Nicholson. The movie is scary and suspenseful and in some scenes, Nicholson goes so crazy it's hilarious. I bought this on DVD so it would last a long time and have great sound & picture. The picture is grainy and has black spots that flicker every so often. Some scenes are better than others. The sound is awful, I had to turn up the volume all the way to hear it comfortably and it's in mono audio. (I would have given this movie 5 stars but because of the disappointing DVD format.) It does have a plus though, a quite long and interesting Behind the scenes documentary made by Kubrick's wife that has up close interviews with everyone and you even get to see Kubrick work with the actors. Great movie, but could have been done a lot better on DVD. (Try reading the book.)

Summary: Kubric is a genious
Review: Kubric is a genious. This movie was amazingly creepy, it was simply a great movie. Jack nicholson is simply perfect in his role of a possesed man. Badly adapted from book but still great. Amazing pictures too. One of Kubrics best.

Summary: laughable at best
Review: Anyone who has ever read the book knows that this movie is based on someting other then the king novel. Not one thing is true to the book and The movie is laughable at best. There isn't one thing scary about it either. It is some of the flat out worst acting I have ever seen it my life. How any one can praise and even somewhat like this movie is completly lost to me. Like the novel silence of the lambs the scariest and most improtant scences in the novels where completly left out of the movie. This movie is just terrible. I actually could barely stand to seat through the entire thing. Danny talkin to his fingure which is "supposed to be tony" was just bad. see in the bood tony is an actual person that he sees far of in the distance(sortof) not his fingure. I could pount out ever little bad part about this movie but I just don't have the time. Please skip the movie and read the book. It is one of the best I have ever read and more scary then the movie(which actually isn't)

Summary: HORROR CLASSIC IN NEED OF 20TH ANNIVERSARY REMASTERING
Review: Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" is an absolute classic and is one of the best Steven King novals to be adapted and presented on the screen. I believe that it is important for the director's vision to be maintained when presenting films on DVD. The DVD is presented in it's original full screen format, the format approved by the director. It was the deliberate intention of the director to present the movie in this way. This film deserves to be digitally remastered and restored. This film should have been given a Special Edition 20th Anniversary release on DVD. Warner Bros, follow MGM's lead with the James Bond series and remaster the movies of Stanley Kubrick.
