A must watch film to any film lover.

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2015)

The Shining is one of the best horror movies ever created, and one of Kubrick's most remember-able and well produced films. The soundtrack is terrifying and haunting, it keeps the audience on their toes throughout the entire film. The cinematography is very cinematic, including numerous tracking shots, making the film looks beautiful and makes the location seems more real. The performances are good for most of the cast but Jack Nicholson's performance is over the top, his performance could have been more restraint early on in the film. But it does make the film more entertaining and remember-able. Characters could have had more development to define the characters more; this could have made them more interesting. Also some back-story could have been used to define and to make them more interesting as well. Good dialogue that works in the film. A very intriguing plot that only gets better as the film goes on. I enjoy how the plot unfolds growing ever so creepy and unpredictable as the time goes on. Great unique visuals are used frequently giving the film a interesting look. Amazing set design of the overlook Hotel. Good characters, they are not all are amazing characters but they work in the film. The Shining is an iconic must see for any movie lover, mainly for horror film fans.
