Probably the scariest movie ever made

Rating: 8/10 (23 October 2007)

Don't misunderstand me, I said scariest, not best. This is a good horror movie and a scary one too, but I wouldn't go as far as calling it a masterpiece, cause then you're talking about horror masterpieces like Psycho. I liked this movie, it was frightening, and I was dying to get to know what happens in the end, but I wont give this film more than an eight. It doesn't deserve more. But the acting was awesome. The one and only Jack Nicholson is once again really good and believable but personally I thought Shelley Duvall was even better. The way she handled the "Heeeeeere's Johnny!" scene was fantastic. She was truly believable there.
The fact that this film is number 54 on IMDb's top 250 is just wrong. There are lots of other movies that deserve to be from 1-50 on the list, for instance Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan, Reservoir Dogs (my favorite movie), La Vita é Bella, The Big Sleep, The Green Mile and Gone With The Wind. There is no way The Shining is better than The Green Mile or Forrest Gump.
