Rating: Summary: GREAT ACTING AND VERY VERY GOOD MUSIC! Review: The Shining is one of the best movies I've ever seen! Great acting by Jack Nicholson, Shelly Duval, and Danny Lloyd. The music is what made this move great. I was saying to myself "ooook thats enough!" when Wendy is going completly hysterical when Jack is chopping the bathroom door down. I thought she would faint when she saw all the pots and pans on the floor.
Rating: Summary: GREAT CLASSIC Review: remember redrum redrum..well this movie will have you in suspense the whole time .once you start watching it you don't want to stop .really makes you think what isolation and being stranded will do to the human mind really great movie .
Rating: Summary: I would rather watch a movie that makes sence. Review: This movie disapionted me. The novel is much scarier than this. The acting sucks and sometimes you will be wondering if Stanely Kubrick made the film without even looking at it. Tust me on this one, read the book, it's scarier than the movie. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. The only thing that scares you is the music.
Rating: Summary: Good - Could of been better Review: This movie had so much potential if it would of stayed true to the book. The book was by far the scariest book I have ever read. I realize that movies can't include everything in the book but changing the ending was a little to much.
Rating: Summary: Do not watch this one alone! Review: The Shining is the best scary movie of all time! The movie is so twisted that it makes you cringe for more! Nicholson is outstanding- he plays his part with so much fire that it is hard to tell that he is sane at all. The Shining is not your run of the mill Mike Myers movie, but a pyschological thriller that sets your mind on a roller coaster of delightful horror and intrigue. The ending leaves you in a somewhat confused, but fearful way that makes you want to watch the movie over and over again. The Shining has the perfect mix of drama, action, humor, and horror that is by far, the best Stephen King story there is!
Rating: Summary: For his WIDE EYES only... Review: As a technical director in a very subjectional thinking media business, I can fully understand why some "bad comments" & "bad reviews" of the "bad DVD" were given. But...while working for a very single minded...very focused...very perfectionistic media talent myself, I more so understand Stanley Krubrick's request to have the viewer "view" the work as "he" viewed it. That is to say...one mindless reviewer said something to the nature that the DVD version on his home theatre "surround-sound-dolby-pro-logic-5,000 channel-THX-super-dooper-cienema-head & balls-to-the-wall-megaplex-titanical-killer" system sounded....WEAK! Well put yourself in Krubrick's shoes in the late 70's/early 80's production field you Joe Schmoe! The whole "idea" for DVD (I believe)is to "FULLY" try to convey & have you see what the creator/director saw & filmed...in his eyes, not in some souped-up, re-re-re-re-remastering lab that has a tendency to put out over-glorified "never-meant-to-be-coloured-that-way" re-re-re-re-releases! If it looked "hazy" or "fuzzy" and sounded "narrow" or "pointed"...well maybe...just maybe...that's the way Krubrick "specifically" invented that particular wheel to "specifically" carry his particular thought's. Duhhhh!
Rating: Summary: scaries movie ever! Review: I'v seen the movie 12 times i love it im afraid to be upstairs in my house alone cause its so scary the only bathroom in my house with a bathtub is the one upstairs im afraid of it cause the lady in the shining who comes out of the bathtub with the evil laugh.
Rating: Summary: Psycological Thriller -- One of My Top 5 of All Time! Review: This is one of the best movies that I have ever seen. It is not to be appriciated for a horror film -- if you're looking for cheap Haloween thrills, then this isn't want you want. This is an intelligent look at the psychological breakdown of a man in a haunted hotel... This film should be regarded as a masterpiece on its own, seperate from the novel. It is wonderful to see a horror film without cheap suspense and silly thrills. This film is terrifying on a much more intellectual level... It has subtle humor and twisted psychology, but lacks the traditional gore associated with the horror genere. Get this film today!
Rating: Summary: Brilliant! Review: I've watched this show at least 3 times, and its real scary, esp. the part which gave me gooesbumps and made my hair stand when Wendy saw the fella in the costume across the corridor. Does anyone know the title/singer of the song played in the ballroom? And I also can't find the soundtrack anywhere.
Rating: Summary: Horror at its best Review: An awsome combination of Stanley Kubrick's eccentric direction and Jack Nicholson's passionate acting. A must see for any horror buff.
