Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2005)

This is a definite classic Horror film, it's scary and still packs a very powerful punch!, Jack Nicholson is incredible here!. All the characters are wonderful, and the story is brilliant!, plus Jack Nicholson is simply incredible in this!. There are so many things that make it a classic, i don't know where to begin, It's very scary Incredibly well acted, The finale is one of the most terrifying ever, and The setting is one of the most creepiest in Horror history!, plus Danny Lloyd gives a wonderful performance as Danny and one that will never be forgotten!.The score is extremely creepy, and Jack Nicholson has some of the coolest lines you will ever see!, plus even at 146 minutes it's never overlong!.I will never ever forget that creepy Maze, and the film really makes you think as well!, plus it has some of the creepiest images you will ever see!. Right from the beginning you can tell Jack Torrance's character is a little off, and it's also very unsettling as well!, plus The ending is just awesome!.
There are plenty of shocking and disturbing moments, and Scatman Crothers is really excellent in his role!, plus Stanley Kubrick's direction is absolutely masterful!. I never did really get the ending, but always did find it fascinating, and, i feel this is one of the best horror films ever made!, plus Philip Stone(Delbert Grady) and Joe Turkel(Lloyd), both give extremely chilling performances!. The guy in the bear suit at the end truly disturbed me, and i agree with the people that said Jack has always been the care taker at the hotel, just reincarnated each time (at least that's what most people say), plus i must give credit to Shelley Duvall for doing such a great job!. This is a definite classic Horror film, it's scary and still packs a very powerful punch Jack Nicholson is incredible!, and if you haven't seen it do so immediately you won't regret it!, it's one of the best Horror films ever made.
The Direction is masterful!. Stanley Kubrick does a masterful job here, with incredible camera work, stunning angles, great zoom in's and zoom out's good POV shots, creating a lot of creepy atmosphere, using one of the most creepiest settings in Horror history!, and lots of other amazing shots as well!, plus he kept the film at an extremely fast pace!.
There is a bit of blood and violence we get. Gallons and gallons and gallons of blood,corpses, that have been chopped up, a creepy, rotting old lady, nasty rotting corpses, Axe in the chest, and other minor stuff, but we didn't really need it.
The Acting is incredible!. Jack Nicholson is amazing as always, and is simply incredible here!, he is extremely frightening, unpredictable, totally OTT (and i loved it!!), gives one of the best performances ever(In my opinion),and you can clearly see that he isn't normal right from the very beginning, he is also incredibly chilling in the finale, a spectacular performance indeed!, he was incredible. (Nicholson Rules!!!!). Shelley Duvall is excellent here with what she had to do, she showed lots of fear and vulnerability, and was very likable, i liked her lots. Danny Lloyd gives one of the best child performances i have ever seen, he is simply chilling, and to think he only acted twice in a movie!, simply amazing, he also had some memorable creepy lines!. Scatman Crothers gave a great show here, i just wished he had more screen time, a very classy performance indeed!. Philip Stone gives an extremely chilling performance as Delbert Grady,and seriously deserves more credit for his wonderful performance here!. Joe Turkel is very creepy as Lloyd the Bartender, i loved him, he also deserves more credit. Rest of the cast are fine.
Overall if you haven't seen it do so immediately you won't regret it it's one of the best horror films ever made!, who cares if it isn't all true to the book!. ***** out of 5
