Jack Nicolson plays the main character very well and Shelley Duvall is also magnificent in her role. Kubrick has done well with this film.

This movie is a classic and has the best acting! Nicholson is so believeable in his role as turning from a good father/husband into a crazy man by staying in an abandoned hotel in off season.
After all the scary movies today I still think this one scares me the most because of how they showed his mind imagining things. The great performances and film work of this movie are brilliant.

Kubrick’s masterpiece. One of the great American classics.

The Shining is the most mind provoking movie of all time!

What Stanley Kubrick has done is make a horror film that plays with your head instead of just showing something that you associate with being scary. Jack Nicholson is amazing as the psychopathic father; you just can’t take your eyes off him. Danny Lloyd is excellent for his age.
The long winding tracking shots through the hotel and the maze are stunning and hypnotic.
Kubrick’s greatest movie by far - a genius at work!

Stanley Kubrick is one of the greatest director/writer/producers of all time.
Stanley Kubrick is one of the greatest director/writer/producers of all time. He has an amazing ability to tell a story that mezmerizes the audience. The perfect usage of the “steadicam” to make it seem like the audience is running with the characters and Jack Nicholson’s performance as the mentally unstable “Jack Torrence” are two out of many things that make this movie so terrifying and brilliant.
