Review of The Shining (1980) by Connor C — 17 Feb 2015
Featuring Stanley Kubrick's incredible artistic direction and a nightmarish score, The Shining relies on realistic scares, suspense and nail-biting tension to achieve its goal in horror, succeeding above and beyond.
Jack Nicholson gives a mesmerizing, bone-chilling and undeniably maniacally insane performance as Jack Torrance, capturing all the aspects of the characters irrational behavior and frightening transformation from caring father/ex alcoholic to a homicidal maniac.
