Kubrick did it again

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2004)

The Shining: What a movie!!!
Keeps you well on your sear right from the beginning also being a typical Kubrick tale you get that feeling of tension throughout the movie, always expect that something awful is about to happen this moment the next and so forth. Another typical Kubrick twist is the lack of clues to the audience. We are never to find out why this all happened how it all began etc, even though hints are given.
The plot even though might seem predictable you will not lose interest on this movie at any stage. The cast have done a wonderful job and all are very convincing of their parts.
The shining is considered a classic of horror genre and I will not disagree as the combination of location, takes, performances and direction along with the storyline, form the ingredients to place it high up among the horror greats.
10 out of 10!!!
