I`ll never watch it again

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2000)

I remember seeing this film wwhen first released in 1980 and being scared witless.Then a number of years later when it premiered on tv,I could`nt wait.A dark winter`s night watching it alone int he dark.I taped it and watched it again and again. Since then it has remained number one in my list.Jack Nicholson`s manic performance.The look of sheer terror on Shelley Duvall`s face when the axe came through the door .The infamous "come and play with us Danny,forever and ever"twins. The rivers of blood from the elavators,Danny`s trips down the corridors with steadicam in tow,...I could go on and on ! Anyway a few years later I got married and had two kids .The oldest now 16 kept hearing me raving about this film and finally plucked up the courage to watch it with me.The result was she couldÂ¬nt sleep for two days and since has refused to watch it again. That`s good enough for me !
