A fascinating movie about a man's descent into complete madness.

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 1998)

Although it is sometimes considered to be a movie about a haunted hotel; I believe it to be a documentation of the descent of a man and his family into madness. In this it differs from the Steven King novel from which it takes the name, the characters, and the location. Although this has offended many King fans, I, for one, love both, though for different reasons.
If you love the book, keep an open mind; it's a tale of madness, not haunting, but it's still quite scary, and incredibly intense.
