No thanks, I didn't like it as I am supposed to.

Rating: Null/10 (23 November 2005)

I saw this version of the Shining twice; once before I read the full book and once after. Both times I was disappointed. The first time because at first I couldn't find the Jack Nicholson film, but found another version by different cast, and I watched that reluctantly (at that time). When I eventually found the version in question I was disappointed as I found it fell short of the other. Some days ago I finished reading the book and watched it again. Thus I realized how far this is from King's narration (even the room number was changed) and how true the other one was (as films can ever be true to the book). Now I am sorry I cannot find the first film I had seen originally - not even on Google. Can anyone help please? Sorry if I didn't conform!
