Favourite Horror Film

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2013)

Absolutely brilliant. The great thing about this film is that the film's 'villain' is not a supernatural being, it is the main character himself. Out of all of Stephen King's novels, this is my favourite, and also one of my favourite films in general. The only thing that irritates me is the actress who plays Jack's wife: she seems too passive, even for that character...but that small flaw in an otherwise brilliant film is insignificant. I love the voice the boy puts on for 'Tony' as well, it's super creepy (and I'm not usually a fan of the now-cliché 'psychic kids in horrors).
Everything is perfect, and it also is parodied in the greatest Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror episode of all time, 'The Shinning'. Also, the ending is awesome, but I won't say too much about that.
