Oh boy oh boy where to begin with this one. There are so many different interpretations of this film, that you just get lost in a maze of mystery and psychological horror, with no way out. Stanley Kubrick masterfully directs this film, everything in this film is perfect, the acting, the cinematography, you name it, it's perfect. Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance is haunting and mysterious, as you watch him change from the man he was, his suprisingly light hearted performance, leaves us in fright from the events on screen. The photograph at the end of the film, giving us the answer to this riddle, which was hidden in plain sight. This film will be a different experience each time you watch it,as you discover more and more leading you closer and closer to the exit of this never ending psychological maze. This is a horror masterpiece, it would be a mistake not to watch it.

Wasn't good as I thought I know a lot of people liked this movie but in my own opinion I just wasn't a fan I thought it was boring and the ending was quite dull but that is just my opinion I think it would be interesting to see a remake of this movie like they did with IT I thought the remake of IT was much much better then the original

I hate horror movies but this is one of the best movies I ever seen!

Although 2001: A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange rank among the greatest films of all time, there's no doubt that Kubrick's The Shining is a flawless work of art with psychedelic, subconscious imagery and masterful filmmaking. It is an effective horror film for providing suspense. The framing and direction are as flawless and brilliant as we've all come to expect from Stanley Kubrick.
