Stanley Kubrick’s style is both innovative and well presented. In “The Shining,” he excels at a visual masterpiece of scale and dimension, with a score that subtly impresses, while overwhelming the senses and provides a feeling of impending doom. Having said that, the movie can feel excessively long and tedious, even with the stellar performances of the cast, and can make you long for more actual visual horror, versus what is hinted at. If your in the mood for a technically brilliant film, and, have a sound system and screen size worthy of the task, this is still a film you can get caught up in, over 40 years later!

The Shining is one of those rare gems that never gets old with time. The characters are well developed, the director begins the feel of suspense early in the movie, and it slowly builds, and of course, Jack Nicholson steals the show as a writer who slowly descends into madness. Few jump scares and more of a suspense-driven, unnerving sense of dread that slowly builds throughout the unfolding story. A must-see for any horror fan AND anyone wanting to see just good acting.

This Stanley Kubrick movie is slightly different than the book of same name, and was created in essence to tell all the viewers that Kubrick was involved in the fake "Lunar Landings" of Apollo 11 to Apollo 17. He also created 2001 A Space Odyssey which preceeded the fake Lunar landings by a year. In this rendition the lead (Jack Nicholson) is seen typing "A11" work and no play make Jack ... over and over again; that's A 11 for Apollo 11. The "Handball" session against a massive wall mural, is clearly seen as 1111. The "Moon Room" is the strange room they were warned about, and the only words you can derive from the room key, is Moon Room, lol. I could spoil the rest, but you'll figure it out, as Kubed Brick (Masonic) Mr Kubrick is dead now, he had his eyes shut permanently after his last movie; at least Nicole Kidman was totally naked in that one. Please keep in mind, that "Earth" is not a Planet, and our local "Sun" and 'Moon" are close to the surface. I am able to use Right Angle Trigonometry, Solar Noon shadow line photograph, and Flat Earth Astrolabe App, Protractor App, and Google Earth to calculate the changing height in miles (about 3000mi). I have a youtube user channel for clarification for the Geodesic brainwashed, it's mulder2400. The Heliocentric madmen whom gave people Helios Centered Solar System (Sun in Center) also gave you Monotheism (Sun god religions) since Amen-Ra was applied to Marduk at start of Egyptian Nationalism (Oldest Nation State) at 3114 BCE. This movie and the faked "Lunar Landings" are about perpetuating the Geodesic Model, but there is no "Solar System", or Globe Earth in any kind of motion, or any 2000mi diameter "Moon" lol. Mr Kubrick's involvement is what got him killed, but he left us clues, like a good Mason. Thank you to Stanley Kubrick, Rest in peace.Read full review

I watched The Shining years ago, but I did not own a copy. It was time to purchase a copy since the movie is not available on various sites on TV.
