Great Horror, Great Kubrick

Rating: Null/10 (18 June 2001)

We've all heard about it. "The Shining is wonderful," "The Shining is great," and so on. Well, my curiosity got the best of me and I rented it to view...
Well, not to mimic others, but this film is fantastic! It is truly amazing how a film made 20 years ago can still scare you today. I won't spoil anything for you, but I would like to point out some wonderful things you can look for:
1. The horrific images that Danny sees. Look for excellent directing, especially with the arrival of the two haunted girls.
2. Jack Nicholson's fantastic acting (of course.)
3. Shelley Duvall's atrocious excuse for acting (don't expect anything great, here.)
4. Don't be fooled, this film is NOT for those who scare easily. If you do, plan to watch it WITH someone.
5. Listen to the score. It's very simple, but quite effective.
All in all, I loved this film. Be sure to see it.
