Stephen King wasn't too fond of Stanley Kubrick's version of his classic horror novel, The Shining. So he decided to do a self-indulgent version that basically follows the book as closely as possible. What were the results? Well, this adaptation turned out very good. All of the characters are superbly acted (although I wasn't as fond as Danny in this version when compared to the book or Kubrick's movie), and it is pretty unnerving thanks to the countless references to the actual story King wrote. King later said that he found Kubrick's version to be "dreadfully upsetting." Most of his fans, or fans of horror in general, should find this movie really creepy as well.
A more literal adaption: yes. But at the same time, not daring at all. And what about the ending? The novel doesn't end with some cheesy scene of Jack coming, in spirit, to Danny's graduation. Pfft. The acting isn't very convincing. The actors aren't very convincing. If you've read the novel, there's no need to see this. Unlike Kubrick's stunning adaption, this film will not affect you at all. Films don't belong on TV in the first place.
I like this Movie and satisfied with this purchase. I played this movie on my VHS player. The picture, sound and recording is good and I have no complaint.
