Where to Watch The Shining
- 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!
- 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!
- 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 â instantly iconic â 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 âď¸ 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 đđđ 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.đđĽđđâď¸â¤ď¸
