Stanley Kubrick has made a truly scary film here that even people who don't like horror movies should be able to enjoy.

The movie doesn't have many of the "Boo!" horror moments the genre has become known for, rather relying on psychological terror. This allows for a more organic type of horror.

The story is (loosely) based off of Stephen King's novel of the same name, but Kubrick manages to create something almost entirely different that actually works better.

The acting is some of the best I've seen in a horror movie to date. Jack Nicholson does a hell of a job here.

If you love horror movies, you owe it to yourself to see this if you haven't already. If not, then still see this movie.

Movie that goes with the flow. The theme song, however is fantastic!

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Here's JOHNNY!!!! This movie can best be described as one man's tortuous descent into his own private H-E-L-L and he's about to drag his family down with him! It's only through the gift the young Danny has called The Shining that he & his mother might have a chance to make it out of the hotel alive! What "Psycho" did for hotels in the 1960's, "The Shining" did for hotels in the 1980's! This movie is awesome! :!: Enough said, true believers! ;)
