A must see ~!

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2008)

This is one of the very few movies I'd recommend a friend to see at any cost.
We witness the degradation of an author's mental condition while he is taking a few months off to live in a hotel, with his wife and son, where he'd get inspiration for his next novel.
The master point in the movie, in my point of view, is how the director and great actor Jack Nicholson manage to gradually show the condition of the main character (played by Nicholson) going definitely wrong. We start with a very common writer who turns out to become totally insane by the end of the movie, but all that takes place in the hotel which somehow seems to be haunted by dead souls.
Excellent acting, chilling atmosphere in a perfect scenery makes you feel quite lonely and stuck with the characters.
