Frightening the Whole Way Through,

Rating: 9/10 (19 February 2014)

The Shining is a brilliant movie with a very well developed storyline with a great cast.The movie is very frightening,several scenes that don't even have anything frightening are still scary just because you know its building up to something and the atmosphere is unusual.Jack Nicholson delivers a thrilling performance,certainly one of his most unique characters,he was certainly a perfect casting decision as we watch him go from a innocent writer and family man to a completely deranged lunatic,and Nicholson plays both perfectly,I never pictured him as an actor that could be frightening,but after watching this I know he is very good at it.The Shining is a terrifying movie that I would highly recommend to fans of horror and Stanley Kubrick's films.
A novelist takes his family to an empty hotel to find peace to write,but the isolation turns him in to a bloodthirsty maniac.
