Film Description

A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where an evil and spiritual presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from the past and of the future.

Either the greatest horror movie of the 80s, or a hilarious comedy of dysfunctionalism. Nicholson is brilliantly unglued as Jack Torrance, and camera and setting become almost characters in their own right. Stephen King hated the film, but its reputation flourishes. The kind of film that changes a little every time you watch it. Here's Johnny!

Review by anon on 23rd September 1999

One of the best horror films made and one of the only horror films that has great acting from its stars and doesn't just rely on blood'n'guts like most films of its genre.

Best Horror Movies by Clare McDonald

A small list of my best horror movies

 

Horror by Sarah Abutair

 

Mostly violent by User Rob

Many of this list are about violence. Violence is natural and has its uses, but it is mostly stupid.

 

The best of Stanley Kubrick by Deano

Only 13 feature films, but each one a classic. His unique style, and originality in his films, made him one of the most respected and controversial artists of the 20th century. He passed away in March 1999, but world can still see his masterpiece's, which will live until the end of cinema.

 

Top Ten Horror Films by Catharina M. Patjas

These are my top ten horror films that I think that everybody should watch. This is not for the faint-hearted...

 

Why We Go To The Movies by Roger Paul

Movies can be great and movies can be awful, but even the worst can be lifted by inspirational moments. This list originates from great movies, but they all became classics due to their own unforgettable moments.
