2 Versions of this Movie

Rating: 3/10 (19 January 2013)

There is two versions of this movie: One by Stanley Kubrick and another by non other than Stephen King himself.
Honestly, no one can portray Stephens' books any better than what he would be able to. He wrote them and know exactly how it should look like, what it should feel like, how it should make you feel and how it should influence you.
I think that the only one whom can put Stephens' thoughts and his mind into living action, would be himself.
This version of the movie, is not the one you wish to see or even own for that matter. The one you want, is the one Stephen produced himself in 1997.
There is a sure lack of story and enthusiasm in the 1980 version of The Shining. Where as in the 1997 version by Stephen King, you are literally at the edge of your seat. There is never a dull moment and when you find Danny screaming, you feel like screaming your head off with him.
