A Hotel With So Much More Than Just Scenic Beauty

Date of Review:  Aug 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: One of the best psychological horror movies ever made! If you have an over-active imagination like me, be sure to not watch it alone.
Review: It took until just a few years ago before I had my first viewing of The Shining, and I was in shock at what I had been missing out on for all these years. I have always been a horror movie fan ever since I saw my first one (A Nightmare On Elm...

Date of Review:  Mar 9, 2001
The Bottom Line: Stephen King fans can appreciate this movie, it's a must!
Review: I first came across the movie "The Shining" when I was 9 years old. Tragically, my best friends home had burnt to the ground and her family was staying in a local hotel. There was a freak snow storm and while visiting her there, I got snowed in...

The Shining (Blu-Ray edition)

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: The Shining is the first of Stephen King's "ancient Indian burial ground" stories, and in my opinion the best - thanks to Stanley Kubrick.
Review: The Shining is one of the first true horror movies I had seen. My dad took me to the movies to see it when I was about 13 years old. There were many images on the screen that frightened me very much, and even now they still appear eerie – even...

The Shining - Jack Nicholson At His Scariest

Date of Review:  Oct 9, 2008
The Bottom Line: The Shining was a very entertaining, creepy, suspenseful movie that is worth watching.
Review: I love movies and watch a lot of them. There are many movies that are considered to be very good or even classics that I haven't seen yet for whatever reason. Every so often, I get the chance to see one of them. That is how I came to see The Shining...

"Danny's not here, Mrs. Torrance"

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2005
The Bottom Line: Just a tad short of the best horror films ever.
Review: If little Danny Torrance and the Overlook Hotel's chef Dick Hallorann can converse via mental telepathy and thought broadcasting, I ought to be able to transmit this review to your eyes without actually typing or putting pen to paper. Let's give it...

THE SHINING: Only the Shadowman Knows Why Kubrick Ruined His Intellectual Horror Masterpiece!

Date of Review:  Jul 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: Stanley Kubrick, from perverseness or perfectionism, cut an ending from his Release Copy which would have given THE SHINING symmetry and meaning. Neither of which the present edition has now.
Review: About the act of "Passing the Buck" -- personally, historically and cosmically -- Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING (1980) is a movie from that rarest of schools, Symbolism, and like any work which aims at Art, it exists on several levels.

Let the red ax handle. Shine an ever bloody light on me.

Date of Review:  Oct 30, 2003
The Bottom Line: .
Review: There are two schools of thought when it comes to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. One school of thought finds it to be a cheap version of Stephen King's classic novel, while the other thinks it is excellent and in some cases better than the book...

The Shining : Kubrick devours King's novel.

Date of Review:  Jul 13, 2001
The Bottom Line: Despite it's considerable flaws, it's lack of true innovation and it not being as good as the book, it's a Kubrick film and well worth seeing.
Review: Stanley Kubrick's The Shining remains a failure to me, but one which contains memorable sequences, intense performances, impressive moments and unforgettable visuals. It is not a faithful adaptation of what is perhaps Stephen King's best novel but...

"Give me the f--king bat, Wendy."

Date of Review:  Feb 8, 2007
The Bottom Line: Although the 1997 King-penned miniseries is more like the novel, Kubrick's 1980 chiller is still effective.
Review: One of the most common gripes readers have when one of their favorite novels is adapted into a screenplay for a major motion picture and they notice all the changes, large and small, made by the screenwriter/director in making the leap from the...
