Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is less an adaptation of Stephen King's best-selling horror novel than a complete re-imagining of it from the inside out. In King's book, the Overlook Hotel is a haunted place that takes possession of its off-season caretaker and provokes him to murderous rage against his wife and young son. Kubrick's film is an existential Road Runner cartoon (his steadicam scurrying through the hotel's labyrinthine hallways), in which the cavernously empty spaces inside the Overlook Hotel mirror the emptiness in the soul of the blocked writer settled in for a long winter's hibernation. As many have pointed out, King's protagonist goes mad, but Kubrick's Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) is Looney Tunes from the moment we meet him--all arching eyebrows and mischievous grin. (Both Nicholson and Shelley Duvall reach new levels of hysteria in their performances, driven to extremes by the director's fanatical demand s for take after take after take.) The Shining is terrifying--but not in the way fans of the novel might expect. When it was redone as a TV mini-series (reportedly because of King's dissatisfaction with the Kubrick film), the famous topiary-animal attack (which was deemed impossible to film in 1980) was there--but the deeper horror was lost. Kubrick's The Shining gets under your skin and chills your bones; it stays with you, inhabits you, haunts you. And there's no place to hide... --Jim Emerson, Amazon.com ... less

Stephen King - The Shining [DVD]

Stephen King's The Shining is a new adaptation from the author himself, made for American television, that bears very little resemblance to the 1980 Stanley Kubrick version. Which is not surprising since Kubrick practically threw out most of King's novel and presented his own version of the story. Here King redresses the balance in a mini-series that follows his original almost to the letter, and manages to be effectively creepy despite the budget and censorship limitations of the TV format. Stephen Weber takes over the role of Jack Torrance, the caretaker who slowly descends into madness in the haunted Overlook Hotel. His performance is as far from Jack Nicholson as you could get, with his insanity building slowly and menacingly rather than being virtually mad from the get-go. Rebecca de Mornay is superb as Wendy Torrance, struggling to hold her fragile family together amid the spooky goings on. Young Courtlan Mead plays Danny, whose unique gifts give the story its title, as one of those infuriating TV brats who overacts left right and centre. Fortunately, there are enough creepy moments and a fair few frights to hold the whole thing together: the woman in the bathtub scene being a stand out shocker. Sure, there is nothing quite like Nicholson's "Here's Johnny!" moment, but this is the story King wanted to tell and it still shines brighter than most of the other recent screen adaptations of his work. On the DVD:Stephen King's The Shining is a nicely packaged set, with the film spread over two discs complete with a commentary featuring Stephen King himself, instantly making this set a must-have for his fans. There are also several deleted scenes which add some interest to parts of the movie. The transfer is good, considering its TV origins, and the crisp sound captures every spooky moment on this well-thought-out and presented set. --Jonathan Weir ... less

NB: FILM ONLY REVIEW
Adapted from Stephen King's novel, The Shining is a horror film which has gone down as an all-time classic. I first read the book in the mid or perhaps late 1970s, and saw the movie when it did the rounds at the cinema in the last half of 1980.
When writer Jack Torrance takes a job as residential caretaker of a large hotel which is closed to guests...

Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Advantages: one of the best horror films ever
Disadvantages: None
...that I have ever been scared by are Event Horizon and Shining. Shining was made before the recent glut of teen slashers and comes from the book by Stephen King, which is his scariest apart from IT. Shining, originally called The Shining was made in 1980 by the late, great Stanley Kubrick, who could proudly say he’d never made a turkey. He died luckily before his last film Eyes Wide Shut came out and so he was spared seeing the carnage, as the film was cruelly mauled by audiences and critics alike.
Shining stars Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall as well as some kid whose name I forgot. The plot is simple but effective; a family go to live in a deserted hotel for the winter as the father is the caretaker. Nicholson plays the caretaker who is also trying to write a novel and Duvall plays his wife. Upon their arrival they meet Mr Ha...

...of her son. Will any of them get out alive?
I would imagine/hope that there are few people who haven't heard of The Shining. Based on the novel by Stephen King and directed by Stanley Kubrick, it was made back in 1980, and yet for me and many others, remains a film that has stood the test of time. It is my all-time favourite film and has been for some time - it is one of the few films that I can watch over and over again, and yet I never get bored of, despite knowing precisely how it is going to end. For me, it has everything that I want in a film - great acting and visuals, a creepy atmosphere with a bit of supernatural thrown in, a bit of gore, beautiful visuals and wonderfully appropriate music. I should note here that I have never read the book, so cannot comment on how well it translated onto the screen, although I have read...
