Great horror movie

Rating: 9/10 (1 June 2001)

I'd heard a lot about The Shining before I seen it, and knew a lot of what was going to happen in it, but it still didn't spoil this brilliant film. Mostly, I didn't find much of it scary, it was more unsettling and eerie, apart from the parts near the beginning when Danny sees the little girls standing in the hallway. The Shining has to be one of the best horror movies ever : the setting, performances (Jack Nicholson is just brilliant) and visuals. I haven't read the book, but I plan to (and apparently Stephen King hated the film because it's changed so much from his book). You won't be disappointed with The Shining. 9/10
