opinions are like ass holes.

huh. was there a stephen king movie where he didn't have a cameo?

my bad

pet semetery 2
IT
Salem's Lot

only ones I could think of

Agree :rolleyes:

Strange how this movie is hated by some...I liked it when I saw it back in the 80´s.......nice breasts :D

I think that was like the Overlook had took him or something like that.

Pet Semetary 2 was his?

I was just thinking if it's Pet Cemetery then it's for King but he obviously didn't write a Pet Cemetery 2 book so my mistake.

Huh?

I'll leave that there as a testament of stupidity.

Me too, for years - and good answer.

Jack Torrence in the picture... is he the dead ringer for a previous inhabitant of the hotel who went mad (the same person somehow re-incarnated?), or is the picture more symbolic than logical?

the shining is one of the freakest movies ever.

yea the shining kicked the arse

Sick and Twisted
 

yea the shining kicked the arse

yea the shining kicked the arse :p

yeah the- YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS.

Liked The Shinning never found it that scarey

What did you make of the fog?

Watched it for the first time in about 10 years... still scarey, but I remembered the film as violent of which there is little

This thread kicks the arse.

dont you need a little avatar of someone licking an arse with a little <<<<<< beside it ?

Remember Groundskeeper Willie from that Simpsons Halloween Special anyone?

Och!

gili<me being a smart ass but i did have nightmares for 3 weeks:( but what would be scarier then the shining either the exorcist or TCM origanal

The Shining has an atmosphere that just cannot be beat. There's no other movies that put me in that uncomfortable, creeped out state. (Except, maybe the end of Don't Look Now)

And Jack is the best villian, ever. He has a way of carrying himself and speaking and just being Jack that's believable, odd and downright scary.

Too bad they changed the ending...

I am just going to bash your brains.....I am just going to bash them the fuck in.

So can anyone explain the logic behind the Jack-in-the-painting at the end?

What does it signify?

The end of the film was history repeating itself (as in reincarnation).

Earlier in the film he spoke to Delbert Grady - a previous caretaker who chopped up his family claiming to have 'corrected them'.

Jack told Delbert that infact Delbert had been the caretaker (and murdered his family), Delbert told Jack he had 'always been the Caretaker here'.

The conversation between Jack and the ghost of Grady:-

Grady tells Jack he has "always been the caretaker here" - do you think this insinuates Torrence being a re-incarnation of a previous caretaker? The one in the old picture at the end?

So bearing in mind Grady is a different person again - another caretaker, who has murdered his family - just how many caretakers have been up to no good at the Overlook? Did the "first" Jack also murder his family, or was it just Grady?

Still non-the-wiser...

The Shining was a terriffic movie. Jack Nicholson was the best choice for the part. IMO, I firmly believe that the Exorcist out ranks it in "The scariest" movie. And as far as "Most disturbing" goes...watch Cannibal Holocaust. That will change your mind.

there are worse

He was Grady in a different life (reincarnation) ergo he was, is and always will be the caretaker of the Overlook Hotel.

the shining is scary as hell! every time i see it it still has the same effect
maby theres somthing wrong with me but i didn't find the exorcist that scary at all.

Yeh I agree The Shining would have to be one of my favorite ghost/supernatural themed films. I haven't seen The Changeling. I think my favorite films of this sub genre at the moment would be The Grudge (+ its remake) but there's a hell of a lot of Asian cinema I have to catch up on.

God i am so tired of hearing that the exorcist is the scariest movie of all time. Come on now, The Shining beats exorcist's ass red. This movie is so damn scary.
