The best horror movie ever made! Period! (Spoilers)

Rating: 9/10 (2 February 2003)

What makes this film so great, besides Jack Nicholson's terrifying performance, is Stanely Kubrick's sense of direction. Stanely Kubrick was great at the little details. One thing that freaks me out about the movie is... since there was no drop of alcohol in the hotel ... how was he getting drunk? Ghost liquor? One of the most geniusly scary moments is in the very end, when they show Jack Nicholson in a picture from the early 1920s! Before this film when anybody heard the phrase "Heeeere's Johnny!", they thought of the Johnny Carson show. But now when they hear that phrase, people think of Jack Nicholson going insane and chopping down a bathroom door with an axe! I loved this movie! If you are looking for a great scare rent "The Shining". Grade: B+
