Best Horror Movie I've Seen

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2005)

This movie was amazing. I did not even thing it would be scary cause it was made it 1980. It's the first older horror movie I've seen, now I think the horror movies made in the 80s and 70s are a lot better than the horror movies today. It is my favorite horror movie. I rented this a few weeks ago, now I wish I bought it, I will. If your going to see it for your first time you should wait till its really dark on a cold rainy night. I was it in the day light and I still thought it was scary.
The plot is simple Jack toke a caretaker job at the Overlook hotel for the winter, the closet town is miles and miles away. So he takes his wife, Wendy and his son, Danny with him so he wont get lonely. Danny has a special gift called the shining, his mom and dad don't know about. He can see these dead people(ghosts)in the hotel. After about 2 months at the hotel Jack starts to go mad. The main idea is he trys to kills his family with an ax.
I love this movie. The Overlook hotel looks anazming, I wonder where its located? The movie you might already know its made from the book by Stephen King. I'm half way done the book and I have to say there is a lot of stuff they didn't put in the movie, I know that happens when they make a book into a movie. If you love the movie read the book a lot of stuff with be explained in the book. Even by reading the book I'm still not disappointed with the movie, and that usually happens. I give the shining 10 out of 10. Watch It.
