Pretty interesting. Not scary in the way you'd expect but it was scary nevertheless. I enjoyed all the scenes of Jack going crazy, they were intense and definitely the best bits but some of the acting was very bad, especially with the wife. The supernatural bits of this film hardly ever fits because there isn't much. I think this would of been better if it was just about a guy going crazy and killing his family without any of the little supernatural elements because there isn't many.

So crazy to think this film was despised when it came out, and now is a true masterpiece, but it does have a problem, Jack Nicholsons character, Jack Torrance. If you read the book, Jack going insane was a truely sad thing, going so far to make you feel truly sorry for him. In this, Jack was always insane, just holding it in. But the film is so divine with Cinematography, script, and acting. It's just the film's faithfulness to the book that takes one star.
