Good film, not as good as the book.

Rating: 4/10 (31 December 2013)

I thought this film was well made. The following shots especially of Danny when he is riding is trike through the halls.
The acting from Jack Nicholson was amazing, he played the mad Jack Torrance very well and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The film overall was very good except the fact it missed out a lot of information from the book. Background information about how Jack. That is one thing that disappointed me. I mean I watched the film with someone who hadn't read the book and the amount of information I told them which wasn't included in the film felt like an awful lot.
The edits were cut quite abruptly, one minute Danny was outside then next he was in the kitchen and there was no real sense of pass of time between the cuts.
It was a good film but could have been a lot better.
