Fantastic movie, great actor and a landmark title.

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2005)

I think that 'The Shining' was one of the best films of the 80's without question. It comprises the amazing talent of Jack Nicholson and the brilliant writing skills of Stephen King, it would have been a crime if this film hadn't been produced, but Stanley Kubrick transferred the novel to screen perfectly. The famous scene where Jack appears through the door is built up incredibly well and the simple but effective line "Here's Johnny" is timeless. The film has the ability to continue 'creeping out' generations for years to come, where special effects movies will grow old and be forgotten. The novel IS better than the film but this is only due to time limitations.
If you still haven't seen this film then see it... NOW!
