Great movie? Please....

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2002)

If you're a Stephen King fan, like me, you'll hate this movie. Kubrick changes too many important parts of the book. The hedge maze instead of the animals for one. And unfortunately, one of the most frightening parts of the movie isn't even in the book. The twin girls. And what the *@$# were they thinking when they cast Shelly Duvall?!?! Wendy Torrance is supposed to be blonde, and beautiful. Shelly Duvall is neither of those. The recent T.V. remake had perfect casting as Wendy anyway. Rebecca De Mornay. Now if you're never planning on reading the book, by all means, see the movie, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Just don't expect to enjoy it AFTER reading the book.
