probably one of the best movies of all time

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2009)

the cinematography, the acting, the suspense, the visual stimulation..everything just bleeds awesome. i've seen this movie countless times and each time it keeps me absolutely glued to the screen. kubrick's best movie, in my opinion, and have seen them all. "i'm not going to hurt ya. i'm just going to bash yer brains in." just an example..everything from this movie is quotable, and awesome. nicholson's best performance. the boy, danny lloyd, commands the screen with his alternate personality. nicholson's wife's terror also commands the screen. the symmetry, the sounds, everything about this movie is perfect. the horror, which is immense, is overlooked by the masterful film-making. words cannot truly convey how captivating this film is, it must be seen to truly appreciate the "wow" that this film captures. without a doubt 10 stars.
