When something "shines" it merely emits a sort of vibe. Well, this
particular hotel emits a very bad vibe. But given the terrible events
that have taken place there throughout the years, there's no wondering
as to why it would emit such evil and scary vibes.
I read
somewhere that Stephen King didn't like the idea of Jack Nicholson
being cast as the lead character in the Shining. I'm sorry Mr. King,
but I thought Jack was Brilliant and I'm certainly not alone in
thinking that. Stanley Kubrick's participation in this film was a
nice touch as well. There are significant differences between the
book and the movie but the movie was great anyway. An absolute
gotta-have for that special horror film enthusiast in your life. |
