Beautifully shot and iconic.

Rating: 7/10 (12 September 2017)

I was weirdly unimpressed by this movie.
It is admittedly beautifully shot, though that's probably not all that difficult to do in the visual splendor of the Rockies. Many of the scenes and lines from this movie have become iconic pieces of film history, much mocked and admired since its release.
However, I just didn't enjoy this movie very much. The pacing was slow at the beginning, and then suddenly too fast at the end. The transformation of Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) into a psychotic murderer felt rushed, though the typewriter scene was magnificent.
"The Shining" is certainly worth a watch, but I won't rush to see it again.
