Best horror movie after a book

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2006)

Best movie with Jack Nicholson and his best role, although I admire him in every film. Each scene is complete and each character is even more impressive than the one from the book. Watching it many times helps to notice more details and it makes it even more gripping, more thrilling. Jack Nicholson is so convincing and his madness is so naturally sensed that you feel even more thrilled than when watching a normal horror movie with monsters eating people, the most thrilling scenes are the ones with the 2 girls that the boy sees sometimes and the scene when Wendy comes to see her completely mad husband typing the same phrase in all possible forms. I read the book only after watching the movie and was a bit disappointed, the book doesn't impress that much, although it is very rare when the screen version is better than the book. Other Stephen King screen versions are not that good
