Movie: The Shining
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Danny Lloyd, Shelley Duvall and Scatman Crothers
Co-starring:
Rated R
Time: approx. 140 min.
This movie is adapted from the Stephen King novel. Jack Nicholson plays a writer who takes a job looking over a hotel that is closed during the winter season. He and his family are the only ones living in the hotel. The hotel being haunted and the isolation slowly drives Jack's character insane and he tries to kill his family. I didn't think this was very scary. I thought Jack Nicholson did a good job on this role. I also thought the movie was a little boring and slightly confusing at the end. This movie is supposed to be a classic horror movie, so I guess it is worth renting.
