Brilliant portrayal by Jack Nicholson

Rating: 8/10 (14 September 1999)

I recently saw the movie and thought it was brilliant. Jack Nicholson's portrayal of Jack Torrance was brilliant. I have also seen the 1997 version of the film which was actually made for TV but was later adapted to film. I think that the "graphicalness" of it is quite a bit better and has more of an effect as a horror film. I recommend seeing the 1997 version as well as this one.
