Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2002)

Kubrick is behind the wheel of Jack Nicholson, in this mesmerizing thriller about a man who loses his mind and terrifies his wife and son in a mountain hotel in Colorado. Nicholson is the star, no question, and, he eats up every delicious piece of it, frothing at the mouth at one point. But, the hidden magic is courtesey of Ligetti, a masterful composer that haunts and chills it's wy through some brilliant technical work. This is a fim for Kubrick fans not to miss.
