I'm not trying to be insulting but how old are you? I saw this film when i was about 12-13 & i had already seen DOTD, Zombi 2 & Cannibal Holocaust. at the time i was unimpressed by the measly bodycount, lack of gore etc. I then saw the film again 3-4 years later & realised what i had missed & appreciated the film a hell of a lot more. One of my favourite films & only just piped by Clockwork Orange as Kubricks best IMO.

I didn't like Kubrick's Shining either. I felt he mangled the message and Jack was underdeveloped as a character. There are some scenes that are great (like the twins for example) but the Overlook was too sterile, Danny too small a part of the plot and Jack's descent into madness too quick. I share Stephen King's sentiments. If Kubrick wanted to adapt the book, he should have stuck closer to its themes instead of focusing on an artist going mad.

Kubrick made The Shining as a Kubrick movie. Most of his movies deal with the methodical dehumanization of their characters, as well as the steady collapse of a neat and supposedly perfect setup. Those were the themes he was interested in exploring, in his own style. I personally consider Kubrick to be a much more impressive artist than King, so I'm fine with him adapting it as he saw fit. For me, Kubrick's Shining is one of the most disturbing movies ever made.

It's certainly a creepy movie. Watch it during the winter when no one is home sometime, and pay attention to the atmosphere and the environment.
Nowadays, people make the mistake of thinking a movie has to be like 'Saw" or "Hostel" to be scary, that the torturing and gore has to start in the first 30 minutes or it's "boring". Ah such is life.....
