November 16, 2008deadraven666 (Florida) 'The Shining',where would we be without Stanley Kubrick's distorted version of Stephen King's classic novel?the horror industry would be at a standstill.This is my absolute favorite of horror-films,it's a very dark film indeed.Believe it or not,this film is not much like the novel the one made for TV in early 2000 had more elements from the book not mentioned in the 1980 version-which actually works for me:)kubrick unlocked the darkest doors to his imagination when he made this film.Everything from the creepy little twins,to the Timberline Lodge Hotel(shown as the Overlook Hotel in the movie).Down to the old song you hear in the ballroom which was written in the 20's or 30's by Ray Noble and his Mayfair Dance Orchestra and the eerie film score by Wendy Carlos.There's not too many people who haven't seen this film and i've never met someone who didn't like it.If you've never seen this film shame on you for calling yourself a fan of Horror Movies and go buy this film! Blu-Ray Edition Really Elevates This Film November 14, 2008Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful When this came out on DVD, I gave it another shot, after not being too impressed with the VHS the first time. Wow, what a difference!, Now, the Blu-Ray is out and now the film has taken another giant leap. It makes the other versions look primitive. On its own - and I'm not a horror movie buff - I found it to be very entertaining and very suspenseful film. Those visuals are so good that I didn't mind the slow pace. Jack Nicholson was perfect for the role. Shelley Duvall was fascinating with her "Olive Oyl" face, smile and soft voice. She got panned by a lot of people, and that was unfair. She's fine. The kid (Danny Lloyd) was good, too, as were the supporting players. If you are any kind of a fan of this film, or director Stanley Kubrick's unique style of filmmaking, you owe it to yourself to look at it on this high-definition transfer. You'll be amazed how great it looks. Jack is still shining November 11, 2008P. A. Hughes (Philadelphia, PA) Another generation loves this movie! I bought this as a surprise for my daughter and her friends for a Halloween sleepover; all the girls loved this thriller!  The Shining November 10, 2008Tom B. Anacleto (monterey cali) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful Its the shining on HD DVD,so its in hd.Nice plus HD dvd has died,not a plus.  STANLEY KUBRICK'S BOMB November 6, 2008JESSICA YVONNE VARMA (Trichur East, Kerala State, India) 0 out of 7 found this review helpful The Shining An ugly, hard-to-stomach horror movie, from Stanley Kubrick, whose sense of taste and feeling for his character have somewhat dulled. His source: Stephen's King's novel, was a horrifing tale, too, but King evokes a sence of concern for his characters which has totally eluded Kubrick's work here. Jack Nicholson is suitably menancing but Shelly Duvall is almost ludricrously weak. | |||||||||||
