Kubrick at his weakest

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2002)

this is not a great stanley kubrick movie. He was overly obsessed with making a great third act that he forgot to make us care about his characters. The only thing this movie is good for is a parody of other horror films. Nicholson is a cartoon, but it works. Filmmaking is about taking risks. Stanley Kubrick took risks. The shining didn't work, but it was worth the risk.
