Best Horror movie ever made???? Yeah, but waaayyyy more than that

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2013)

Stephen King, the greatest writer of all time, never bothered much about the adaptations of his works to the big screen. Not even should it, after the great critical and box office success that was "Carrie" from Brian Palma, King thought that everything was secure in his job. BUT, Stanley Kubrick was already knew for making films that cause scandals and make controversy. King hated the adaptation (so much that he did a series based on the book years later) and the reviews were very mixed, but the audience (I'm part of the audience) LOVED.
The story begins when the writer Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) gets a job offer that involves taking care of a huge hotel during the winter. Jack decides to take his family along for an unforgettable vacation while also working on his next book. Everything seems going well, but a dark ghostly presence changes everything and start's haunting the family chamber by chamber of the immense hotel, causing small attacks on Danny Torrance (Danny Lloyd) who seems to have strange psychic powers, and Jack start's having disturbing visions that initiates a large development of pure madness.
I think Kubrick intention never was to ridicule the work of King, the lack of loyalty was due to the immense work dependence that Kubrick always had. But this just opened place to the extraordinary originality and dark philosophy that Kubrick always given us.
As always with Kubrick, the film contains a flawless script and follows with a outstanding narrative from start to finish, and with the horror genre in film is best to wait for dark dialog's with the disturbing soundtrack of John Jacob. And the direction (since "2001") has never been EXCELLENT giving a amazing and truly frightening filmography.
Kubrick with this film just created the "scary-house" horror genre, thanks not only to the history, but thanks to the mixture of the splendid performance from Jack Nicholson and Kubrick's dark philosophy. That throughout the film thanks to the excellent narrative and one dark scene in the bathroom, it creates the scary and crazy environment of the 3rd act, and face a insane and unforgettable phrase Nicholson everything ends in another unforgettable masterpiece that Kubrick always knew how to give us. And the final message is that in all of us there is a crazy and murderer side waiting to be released.
All I have to say is: "Hi Johnny, but you are seriously not welcome in my bathroom"! 10/10
