I liked Kubrick's better. I can understand King not caring for the radical changes made from his story, but it was a beautiful and effective movie. Kubrick was weird, but his old movies oozed with passion.

I go with the Kubrick version. Nicholson will always be Jack Torrance to me. Steven Weber just didn't come across as menacing.

The film
the miniseries os great, much more 'compete' storyline, and the scene at the end between jack and danny was immense! And the bathtub lady was creepy as ever, but overall, the film is just amazingly good, the blood coming out of the elevators, the twin girls, the music, the bathtub scene......it's just a masterpiece I'm new by the way, so hi |
I'd say the original. As i only saw the remake only once some years ago. I thought it was ok. But that part with the women in the tub and she cased that kid. man that freaked me out something bad man..

The original.

i'll be honest, i saw the original a few times when i was younger and i thought it was boring. About 6 months ago though i picked it up on bluray cause it was on sale for like 8 dollars. I watched it with my girlfriend at the time and boy did my views change. Such a great movie. Kubrick just slowly builds this blanket of tension and uneasiness until the climax at the end, it's awesome. Jack's descent into madness is captured flawlessly. Really great film.
I've seen bits and pieces of the miniseries and i didn't think it was bad, but i can't give my full judgment on it cause i've yet to see the whole series. oh and, incase anyone hasn't seen this, this is probably my most favorite version of 'the shining' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfout_rgPSA that video is hilarious. |
I've only seen the original,and really liked it.
