Where's Johnny?

Rating: 9/10 (22 February 2016)

The Shining is not exactly you happy family flick. It's a timeless classic that easily holds up with today's Thriller/ Horror genre. In fact, I believe it may be one of the best Psychological Horror movies up to this day. Living in an empty hotel on an isolated location sounds quite unsettling but it's Jack's Nicholson stellar performance as Jack Torrance that made this movie in my opinion. The overacting, memorable dialogue, and unnerving ambient sounds only enhanced the film adaptation of Stephen King's sinister novel. Unlike the child or Jack, I felt as if the wife lacked some personality. Her character seemed a bit flat. The ending was a bit anti-climatic but nothing that made me enjoy this movie any less. Definitely a must-see movie for the lovers of the Thriller and/or Horror genre.
