A REAL Movie...

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2006)

Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is a REAL movie. I really enjoyed watching the plot thicken and being scared to death. I was reading about the movie right here on IMDb and was getting scared just by looking at the goofs!!! The Shining was probably the only horror film to actually scare me. The acting is brilliant (I think Jack Nicholson is much better in thrillers than in comedy/romance) with everybody putting on lifelike performances which explains why I was so afraid. Scatman Crothers is always brilliant and little Danny Lloyd plays the "possesed" son of madman pretty well...
From the moment Mr. Torrance says "I've been here before" (Or something like that) it got interesting...
The movie is always making you think, all the unexplained ghosts are very mind bending and Kubrick illustrates how he wants you to ponder over the existence of the apparitions...
Well I throughly enjoyed The Shining and was also throughly spooked.
9/10
