About the only horror movie that really frightened me!

Rating: 9/10 (23 August 2003)

Well-directed and acted movie about Nicholson's deterioration into insanity. The movie effectively builds up a sense of impending doom, from its panning down the empty hotel corridors, to its music, to its glimpses of the past. I felt unsettled the whole way. Even when Nicholson sees a beautiful naked woman bathing and embraces her, this moment quickly turns from pleasure to sheer terror. A disturbing and effective movie "come on little piggies, Johnny's here!".
