Horror movie masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2004)

This movie is by far the most inventive, scary and dark of it's kind. Having just lately seen the 144 minute version, and it makes a great movie even greater. Kubricks style is slow paced in the most dramatic and terrorfying way. His style is never matched. Jack Nicholson is scary and gloomy as the devil himself, and Shelley Duvall is equally brilliant as the very scarred wife. I'm never gonna be bored watching this fantastic masterpiece. The older it gets the better it gets. The newer mini series on the other hand is just as interesting as a bowl of frozen snot. Kings version of the film is boring, with nothing at all scary.Kubricks version is brilliant and definitely deserves 6 out of 6 stars.
