One of the best films of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2011)

My personal favorite film of all time, the Shining will shoot fear into your heart like a bullet. By far the most intelligent horror film ever made. The story of a man's descent into madness when he brings his family to caretake a hotel sounds somewhat simplistic, right? Wrong. Stanley Kubrick creates a strong tension in the film, especially when young Danny Torrance runs into some unexpected visitors in the hallways of the massive "Overlook Hotel." Jack Nicholson's psychotic emotion will make you want to run away from your television's screen. Though the film does not completely follow the original Stephen King novel, I assure you, it is just as good if not better. If you haven't seen the Shining, you haven't seen a true horror film.
