Terrific Horror Movie

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2003)

This is the perfect role for Jack Nicholson. He is masterful as the demented psychopath and without him, this movie would not be possible. Stanley Kubrick and Steven King have combined to make a fine script but its really Jack's performance that seperates this film from the pack. Shelley Duvall is mediocre in her supporting role however Danny Lloyd plays the child beautifully. Its a surprise he's never made many movies considering his fine showing in The Shining. This is a horror classic, right up there with The Exorcist and Silence of the Lambs. Highly recommended!
My rating : @@@@ (out of five)
