One Of The Dullest "Shinings" Ever

Rating: 3/10 (1 March 2015)

Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" has got to be one of the all-time worst big-budget horror films ever made. Everything about The Shining said "expensive", but nothing about it said "scary".
It truly baffles me that such an impressive director as Stanley Kubrick would ever consider tackling the mess of a typical Stephen King horror novel and try to adapt it to the screen.
All-in-all - The Shining was a dud. There was only one murder in it, which, in my opinion, was a completely unforgivable body-count when it comes to any horror film.
Two of the biggest strikes against this film were the casting of that goofus, Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance and having that pudding-faced kid, Danny Lloyd, as Torrance's brat son, Danny.
