Review of The Shining (1980) by Imunavailable — 09 Jul 2011
An atmospheric, slow-burning horror film that charts a man's descent into madness. Though the directing and writing is top notch, Nicholson is the real star of the show. His character is fantastically deranged and believable and is the commanding force in each scene he is in.
Although not terrifying, the movie effectively builds tension and suspense culminating in a dramatic third act.
