The Shining Reviews

external linkOne would expect better from Kubrick. His film simply wasn't totally original. A great movie, yes, but its haunted house conventions had been used time and time again in countless movies. All of this prevents "The Shining" from being a classic. [read review]

external linkA great film with a bunch of memorable moments (the bathtub lady, the 'redrum' part, "heerre's johnny", etc.) wedged between a mostly interesting (if a bit slow) psychological/ghost story. See it. [read review] 3.5/4
-- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
external linkThe Shining is a work of genius, directorally speaking. Unfortunately, as a story, it falls flat. When Kubrick set out to make a symbolic movie, he forgot to include real characters. [read review] 87/100
--Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)
external linkThe movie is filled with many eerie moments and twists, that all lead up to an unfullfilling conclusion. [read review] 3.5/5
