Review of The Shining (1980) by Jairo A — 14 Feb 2014
The visuals in this movie are great! Jack Nicholson is awesome as usual, his wife was ok as an actress but it didn't take away much from the movie. It is too slow at times (but not necessarily boring) and it doesn't provide enough scares or moments where you jump.
It is a very good film but it's not one that deserves a 5/5. It's probably one of those movies that has to be rewatched to be appreciated more. Surprisingly, this movie is not at all about kills.
..a masterpiece?! No, not in my book!
