The Shining Ratings & Reviews
- xxzz185 dgn geledenHere's Johnny!!!!!!
- Eric Bakke9 oktober 2024Sanity slowly deteriorates in the most disturbing ways. It's terrifying without having to rely on jump scares and gore, leaving viewers on edge and deeply unsettled. Although The Shining has it's flaws, in my opinion, it's the greatest horror film ever made.
- DTSaito4 april 2026My all time favourite movie
- JarrydTee9 februari 2026Really expected better. Holes in the story, bad characters. Descent into insanity not really explained very well. Wife, well I mean what the hell!? I feel I needed to have read the book for this to make sense, but after watching this I've had enough of this story.
- Pascal Bollier3 februari 2026its a classic for a reason. an absolute masterpiece. this is not for the jump scare crowd, but for people who enjoy watching, you know, an actual scary movie. pay attention to how every single scene is a setup or a resolution. nothing is there without reason. Kubrick's direction is as effortless as it is flawless. performances are superb, the music is iconic. highly, highly recommended!
- The Gutter Monkey23 maart 2025For me, it’s the quintessential horror movie. I could play it forever... and ever... and ever... 🪓
- Zokkiie17 januari 2026Still one of the creepiest movies ever made. Kubrick, a real master of suspense, keeps things slow and icy in a way that just gets under your skin. Jack Nicholson is perfectly unhinged — instantly iconic — and Shelley Duvall brings such raw, believable fear that it makes everything hit harder. Every hallway feels off, every sound creepy. A total classic that somehow gets better (and scarier) over time
- Crystal Sixkiller15 januari 2026This movie was the number #1 ☝️ most scariest horror movie made. They don't make scary movies like these anymore I can watch this movie over and over and never get tired of it. Much props to Shelly Duval this lady is a strong trooper because Stanley Kubrick put her through hell and treated her terrible while making this film I don't know how she managed to take all his disrespect towards her. She deserves a Thumbs up and so much more 🌟🌟🌟 Shelly this movie couldn't of been so great without you. They made this movie over but it will never compare to the one you appeared in. Jack Nicholson was amazing as well and did great and Little Danny Lloyd was such a great actor at his age, I can't believe how he did all the scenes so perfect. He definitely was a natural born actor. All three of them made this movie what it is and will always be remembered and cherished.🏆🥇🌟🙏☝️❤️
- Karin e Boris10 januari 2026Do you really need a review? This is simply the quintessence of cinema!
- darsan25 mei 2025"here's johnny!" u gotta love the creepy performance by jack nicholson 😂😂
- Tom Majski15 december 2025I finally got to see this in the cinema and what a treat! The Shining is, simply put, one of the great horror movies of all time, despite what Stephen King things of it. The tale of the Torrences tenure at the Overlook Hotel is incredibly gripping from the very first scene. There is a wonderful tension within the family created by Nicholson's Jack. From the initial drive up to the hotel right down to the awkwardness of the interview there is a compounding sense of dread for the entire movie. The performances by Nicholson and Duvall are second to none. This is very much a movie with 2 equal leads. I've genuinly never seen terror like that on the face of Shelly Duvall throughout this movie. A woman losing all sense of safety for her and her child as her husband unravels into a dreanged monster. A monster we all have a glimpse of from the start (hence King's dislike of the movie). Add Kubrick's signature flair in cinematography and presentation as well as slight surrealism and you truly have one of the great cinematic works of all time.
- Michael Surber7 mei 2025Yet another instance where the book was better. So much better. Admittedly, very few of King's novels have gotten close to a decent film adaptation and King himself hated this one. Kubrick still produced a masterpiece but it fails to match the level of King's original horror. Tons of classic scenes that are guaranteed to chill viewers though, especially the scenes with Danny alone in the hotel. Truthfully, I preferred the sequel, Doctor Sleep. Now THAT was a great film!
- JennaVerstraeten7 november 2025What's not to love, it's a good old fashioned tale of a man going insane and trying to murder his family with an axe.
- William Galan22 november 2025Watching this movie after the events of Welcome to Derry is something different
- 0 18 december 2025One of the greatest Horror films
