filming locations...

Rating: 9/10 (2 November 2004)

The Shining is one of the best horror movie that I have ever seen. I loved it so much that I actually went and spent two nights in the Timberline Lodge hotel on Mt. Hood, Oregon, where parts of the movie were shot. Don't expect to see the bal room or the maze. because those were filmed in studios in England. I would definitely recommend the movie to anyone who likes Kubricks bizare's ideas. I think that the movies was as good as Stephen King's book.
The movie starts with an aerial view of the highway 26 which starts in Portland (OREGON), and ends in the little mountain ski resort of Government Camp. And all of the sudden pops the Overlook Hotel. It's breathtaking. The hotel hasn't changed a bit in 24 years. If you ever go to Oregon, make sure to go to the Timberline Lodge ski resort to see it. You won't be disappointed !!!
