Horror at it's finest, but the film isn't scary

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2015)

The Shining is a shiny example on a horror film easily described as a psychological drama, this film is the best Horror flick i've seen at this point, while the film is a slow film With poor following to the novel, it is a timeless horror masterpiece, the film while creepy and intense isn't scary. Here's why.
The film centers around a Haunted isolated hotel where a Family goes to as caretakers for the Winter. While in the hotel, The son of the Family Danny experiences strange visions from past and the future while the dad Jack Torrance, an alcholic writer goes insane and begins murdering everyone in sight, while Jack has the same hallucinations as well, while the mother Wendy Torrance must find out as well for Danny the case why Jack is crazy, With Dick Hallorann helping Danny out, when he Calls out The Shining.
The film's atmosphere is dark and fascinating, the opening shot already explains that the Movie is dark and creepy, and it is, but the issue With it, is the lack of scares, this doesn't produce any scary direction whatsoever.
The acting is good, but god does Shelley Duvall suck, her voice makes me petrified Beyond belief, hate when that crap happens, Danny's performance is the highlight, he delivers it great With such serious manner. Jack's performance was good, but not great, the script could have been better.
The Shining is a great example for a horror flick but the film lacks pacing and scariness and acting could've been better, overall great Movie but has it's flaws, The shower scene is the part that nearly got me, the other scenes not, i saw the 115 minutes Version and saw deleted scenes the other day. Highly recommend for a horror individuals
10/10
