Just misses the mark.

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2000)

The Shining was a big disappointment for me. While it was well directed and produced and certainly had it share of scares, the script didn't handle Jack Nicholson's character very well and there was no way to get involved in his plight. Also, everybody overacts so terribly it sinks what could have been a masterpiece. 6/10
