One of the best horror movies of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 2003)

The greatest horror movies: Psycho, What Lies Beneath, The Others, The Sixth Sense, The Ring, maybe Scream or Alien, and defineatly Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Being one of the scariest movies of all time, this movie contains everything a horror movie should: building suspension, shock, great lines, gore, scary music, a great environment, crazy charectors, and an awesome ending. The plot is simple: Jack, his wife, and his son and his son's imaginary friend say they will take care of a hotel, up in the mountains. They find out about a guy who freaked out up there and killed his wife and daughters adn then blew himself away. Not discouraged, Jack goes up there, and slowly begins to go crazy.
Jack Nichelson is great in this movie as a crazy writer. Shelly Duvall (the movie's only set back) is not the best actress, but she's not terrible. Danny Lloyd as the kid, is great, one of the best child actors ever. With it's blood, bizzare scares, and fantastically scary music make this movie scary. Run to the video store, buy this DVD, and watch it. But, one more thing... DON'T WATCH IT ALONE! Frightning
