A horrific masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2002)

This film is the exact representation of what a horror film should be; it has an isolated setting, an ugly women, a kid that is smarter than he appears and a mad man, played brilliantly by Jack Nicholson. Kubrick went the extra mile to be sure the viewer would be frightened to death with the creepy and uncomfortable soundtrack. This film rocks in anyway, and I don't care about the book, this film is much better.
