Review of The Shining (1980) by Montenegrin — 21 Feb 2015
Pretty bad movie. I just watched it first time and it's not what I expected. First, that woman is annoying. I hate her running style, its like from some parody, maybe first 30 minutes she was mysterious and interesting, then later she totally lost herself.
Jack did awesome work, he laugh and he's angry in same time, change many faces in one scene so we can actually read his mind, which is pretty cool. Kid was pretty awesome too, one of best kid acting I saw lately in horror movies.
But, I dnt think this is horror, it's more like drama. There was few really long scenes, that dnt really need to be that long. Anyways, worst thing about movie is music. You cant focus on scene because you need to take off your headphones because music become too loud on some scenes, and music is just random and weird, I really didn't liked that part.
Not to mention that black guy traveled a lot to get one hit in chest after he just walked in hotel lobby. Pretty lame, he got involved in story too much, and he didnt had even one line when he arrived at hotel.
