By far the best and scariest horror I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2001)

First off, I must say that Stanley Kubrick is my favourite film maker. And here he shows me why. Wonderfully shown through interesting angles and making you side with the bad guy. Because after Shelley Duvall hits the screen you love to hate her. Kubrick also did this in Clockwork Orange as the main character and narrator was Little Alex (the most twisted and devious).
Nicholson goes crazy a little early, but Kubrick is trying to show us something within that. Last half an hour is filled with symbolism and things I still gotta figure out.
Interestyingly Stephen King (who wrote the book) hated the film. Maybe, because Kubrick was making a film, not copying the book.
