the acting in the original was great, jack plays a good crazy, but the remake was more true to the book. anyways, I want to add my opinion to the mix, the haunting of hill house was THE scariest movie ever

Are you referring to "The Haunting" or "House on Haunted Hill"??

I'm sorry but that movie just completely blew dogs for quarters.

I didnt much care for it either. Comparing a made for tv movie to a kubrik movie just doesnt quit gel.

Thats like comapring China Beach to Full Metal Jacket

"Well, they're both about vietnam..."

I've got a better one.

comparing the tv made Shining to Kubricks Shining is like comparing Stargate to Star Wars.

The pig/dog suit and the butler with the cut on his face is probably one of the weirdest, most disturbing things i have seen in a movie.
And the music when the camera zooms in to reveal them is disturbing as well(As it is in most of the movie)...The Shining is definately the scariest I have ever seen....and I've seen a lot of horror movies.
