Heeeeeere's Johnny!
In 1997 King did a remake with many more elements of the book, and the film is a sleeper. I had to watch it like four different times to get through it.
Anyway, I'm not here... read more

“Warning: Spoilers
The Shining, you know what's weird about this movie? This is the movie that everyone, for people who claim to not like horror films, will always say that The Shining is a terrific film. This is Stanley Kubrick's classic vision of Stephen King's horror tale of madness and blood. This is just an incredible film and wither you have seen it or not, you have heard of it, know a few lines from it, and know some of the classic images. Who could forget Jack's "Here's Johnny!"?

"Pros: Itās atmosphere and overall dread. Jack Nicholson, as Jack Torrence. He is very terrifying. Shelly Duvall as Wendy. Danny Lloyd, and Scatman Crothets. Music by Wendy Carlos. Memorable moments, including the twins and the room! Itās a enigma. One of Stanley Kubrickās best films, and Stephen Kingās best film adaptations. The opening half, and cinematography. Cons: Shelly Duvallās treatment, during the making of the film. Admittedly, Jack going crazy feels jarring, if no"
