Worst casting

Rating: Null/10 (25 October 2009)

I much prefer the television version that was made later. Sorry, but Jack Nicolson looks crazy normally. Hard to see him slowly going crazy when he looks to begin with. And Shelley Duval is too much of a wimp. Keep seeing Olive Oyl. Read the book after having worked at a Hotel in the Canadian Rockies so I could really imagine the story. Had to turn the light back on when I finished reading at 3:00 am. Had a hard time going into bathrooms where the shower curtain was covering the bathtub. But the movie just didn't do it for me.
Sorry but Jack is Jack Nicolson not Jack Torance in this movie. He seems to play himself in most movies....
