Another classic movie from Kubrick.

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2000)

Stanley Kubrick can do the topmovies in everything! A cinematic masterpiece in space traveling, a historical epic, men falling in love with young girls, black & white comedies about war, another big epic, two glorious war-movies, an extremely strong hooligan-movie. He even managed to put together two Hollywood-couples as a couple in a crashed marriage, and with the heart pounding super-scary 'THE SHINING' he proves that he even can do 80's horrormovies like no one else.

The decoration is scary. Long hallways, room 327, old ladies, spooky bartenders and two extremly chilling twin sisters. Ordinary doors has never seemed this scary before. The music IS one of the best things in the movie and you sure hear it when Wendy finds out what Jack has been writing all this time.
THE SHINING is both very entertaining and highly thrilling. A perfect movie for a cold winter midnight. I hope no one will forget the acting? Scatman Crothers, fits like a glove, Danny Lloyd maybe the best child actor yet, Shelly Duvall, it's hard to believe that she is acting, and finally (tamtamtammmm) JACK NICHOLSON! This is together with BATMAN his absolute nr.1 performance.
When you see the movie for the first time, remember. Here's Johnny, and he's here to stay! After all, this movie has frightened us for 20 years now.
8.5/10
