Iconic horror/thriller movie

Rating: 7/10 (25 August 2012)

This was a great movie. Kept me hooked. I loved Jack Nicholson's lines when he was mad! The twins were scary, the son was a superstar in the acting department!! The storyline was sweet. I am still waiting for a horror movie that has plenty of scares while following a great storyline but this movie did alright. Had a great storyline but a bit too few scary moments.
Credit to Danny Lloyd who played the son, Danny Torrance. This kid man, this kid can act!! His voice changed, his concentration was superb, his acting and lines were delivered fantastically well! Stanley Kubrick knew that he had talent. I can't imagine anyone at this age acting any better for this character.
I would recommend it to movie buffs who have a love for movies like I do. People who enjoy browsing the history of movies and how they were made back then, especially as it is a classic! The Shining is just an iconic movie in the horror department
It was a fantastic movie as there was so much suspense involved! I mean you have a vacant motel, so much you can do. The acting was great, the terror and fear shown by the wife felt real! The twins, the room 237 and the kid really added to the chills in this movie. Great overall movie!
