The Shining (DVD)

Stephen King who wrote the original Story for "The Shining" was extremely critical of Stanley Kubrick's version of his Novel which is the DVD i am reviewing.
I disagree with him as Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrence, and Shelley Duvall as his Wife are perfect for their parts.Young Danny Lloyd in his first film appearance is also good as their son who has psychic powers.The Story is briefly :Torrence(Nicholson) is offered a job as a Handyman who is employed to look after the deserted "Overlook Hotel" during their Winter season.

His Wife, and son soon join him and then the fun begins!.Torrence has obviously worked at the Hotel during a different Life, and as tme goes on he becomes insane. His Wife and son fear for their safety and this is where i will not give anymore away as it would spoil the DVD.

Stephen King was so angry about this version of his Screenplay that he comissioned, and paid for a TV Movie of "The Shining" using his own storyline.
I have bought this also, and its not a patch on Kubrick's version.So if you haven't seen this yet go for it, as it is one of the best Horror Movies ever made.
