Perfect leaving aside some genre confusions.

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2015)

Forget the confusion part 10 is not enough for this movie. If i can i would rate it a 100 considering Jack Nicholson's performance which is outstanding. The movie is based on the story but however some scenes are made up. Like Wendy was actually a blonde and Jack's encounter with the evil forces was a gradual process. The movie is arranged in a way which glues the viewer wondering what will happen next. In my opinion , however the role of Jack Torrance seems humorous that this movie confused me that is this really a horror film? So many comedy elements and I was shocked that it was not in the comedy genre along with horror. Like the part Jack comes with the axe seemed actually funny and also the way he talks to Wendy when she finds out what he had been typing. All my little cousins found this movie (forget some scary parts) to be actually funny . The Loyd scene was ironic that it will always be one of my favorite scenes. Finally this movie could have been made much more thrilling to the viewers if the roles were well played and the plot was followed properly. To me Jack seemed quite funny. Not quite but very funny. Even due to this confusion I give this a 10 because it was a joy to watch due to Jack Nicholson's performance keeping aside the genre part.
