Absolute Masterpiece

In all honesty when watching The Shining for the first time i was sat there thinking that it was a tad weird at the beginning.
I was so right. The whole movie is undoubtedly one of a kind. Being a bit of a horror movie fanatic I have watched many horrors where they have since tried to recreate the story and atmosphere. I can recall several movies who have taken elements of this film and tried to rearrange it into their own production, but not once has it worked as well as it did in this one. I always knew this as 'that film where the guy says "here's johnny"' but now I can see so much more than that.
The cast fitted their roles so well, almost as if they were designed around the actors.It has a very on the edge of the seat, eerie atmosphere and you're never sure what's going to happen next (unless you've watched it as many times as I have). However it is still such a classy production with excellent location, not to mention how well the movie was scored.
I will forever be utterly obsessed with this production, and definitely recommend it.
