VERY scary movie

Rating: Null/10 (22 August 1999)

"The Shining" is an impressive horror film from Stanley Kubrick. The story is about Jack Torrence (Jack Nicholson, in top form), his wife Wendy (Shelly Duvall), and their son Danny (Danny Lloyd) going up to the Overlook Hotel for the winter. However, Danny starts seeing things about the Overlook that present it as an evil place, while Jack is losing his mind from writer's block, and the evil forces in the hotel. As with every Stanley Kubrick film, it's thought-provoking (esp. the ending!). The scariest scenes in the film are:
*(Minor Spoilers)*

The twins at the end of the hall ("Come and play with us Danny...Forever...and ever...and ever), The woman in the bathtub, Danny's possession by "Tony"
The music is also haunting, and stays with you for a LONG time, as with many of Kubrick's films. While Shelly Duvall gets annoying at times, it's (in a way) necessary) Ranks up with the scariest movies of all time (Exorcist, Pet Sematary 1). See "The Shining" ASAP.
