The Shining (1980)
An absolute masterpiece.
3 June 2021 - 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
The Shining is a complete masterpiece from start to finish and will be looked at as one of the greatest horror movies ever created for generations. While the film could have stayed true to some of the aspects of the book, I think this film contains incredible acting and an amazing plot regardless of its differences to the book. From the opening drive to the hotel to the closing twist at the end, The Shining is a quite cinematically perfect and has stood the test of time for 40 years. Also, Jack Nicholson's acting + this movie as a whole is one of the biggest Oscar snubs in the history of cinema.
