The Shining (Trailer)

[Scorpionblood1]

the film is not as scary as the book

[TKGamers1]

There Is Only 3 books I can Think Of That Were Not as Good as The Film

The Shining & Blade Runner & A Clockwork Orange

[TheAltair4]

@TKGamers1 Well i wouldn't go so far as to say they were better than the books myself but they were equally as good in my opinion. Stephen King hated Kubrick's version of The Shining because he felt it strayed too far from his novel, but it's nevertheless quite a brilliant adaptation and is much better than the 1997 miniseries, which was much more faithful to the King's novel. Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange is virtually identical to the novel with the exception of the very last chapter, of course.

[TKGamers1]

@TheAltair4 Stanley Kubrick Put His Own Style In A Clockwork Orange And The Shining,Christopher Nolan Did The Same Thing With Batman Begins And The Dark Knight, They But There Own Style On The Movies.

[TheAltair4]

@TKGamers1 I agree, even though Kubrick himself felt that he really had no distinct directorial style. His signature stamp is definitely on The Shining though and it really is quite different in tone than King's novel. The novel of A Clockwork Orange has exactly the same type of intensely bizzare, satirically dramatic tone and quirky narrative rythm that Kubrick's film version has though, so very little was either altered or lost in translation.

[TKGamers1]

@TheAltair4 Put Lol Not But My Bad.

[elxako]

books are better than movies EVER!

@PetrKL21

[500hotmail]

hey you trailer it something stupid i dont like really fake

[PinkPsycho92]

I think the simpsons did a parody of this? Hey can you tell me if that woman with the black hair died or not? I hope not:( Why didn't it show the two twins? They are creepy!

[HollywoodGiiirl]

The movie was good, but no, it didn't scare me.

When i was about to see it my dad was like "Oh, this is like the scariest movies ever!", so i guess i was expecting more,

Because nothing really happens, i mean, there's all the signs and that but there wasn't really any part that really just made your heart stop for a moment...

But, yeah, it was kinda good though! ;)

[mckeymouse8487]

@HollywoodGiiirl I agree you should read the book much more scary lol

[Buennh02Myers]

i didn't think it was scary at all,but then again almost no movies scare me

[StarWarsFanatic99]

whoo, i can't wait 2 see this movie!!

[789life]

@BrandonxxYn1 well... yes.. you are right.. :)

but i think he becomes schizophrenic cuz he talks to an "imaginary" waiter.. u no.. but its quite confusing becuz he's dead theoretically... he appears in an old photography... in black and white.. so idk what to say..

[789life]

@BrandonxxYn1 at least he wants to kill his wife.. he breaks a door with the ax trying to catch her..

so u still think he doesnt want to kill her??

[kwordkarinababe]

hey... i love this film so much... i got a lipstick and guess what i wrote on my door...

[Mig1446]

REDRUM LOL That movie was one of the best scary movies i have seen

[MadeSicc74]

read the book. scary as fuck.

[ChowakeePsycho]

I know! But the one that he was supposed to almost not have finished was Pet Sematary! Personally, I think that The Shining was way scarier. I never have nightmares and I sometimes woke up from a a nightmare about this book.

[Koermuvguy]

@MadeSicc74 so fucking is scary?

[nindjapoez]

@MadeSicc74 yeah im reading it and now im always watching my back, looking if there is not some naked purple woman pursuing me lol

[DarkMetalOmega]

Is this really that scary?, I don't know... I have a hard time seeing Jack as a scary guy, I laugh my ass off by just looking at his face. So anyways can anyone tell me how scary this is, 'cause it really doesn't look that scary to me.

[pinkpandamiranda]

oh, the shining is SCARY....... its sheer terror. And I am not over reacting. It was very creepy as well. And after you see this movie, you dont see jack the same ever again. its just really fantasticly creepy.

-pinkpandamiranda

[nuggbubbler]

@DarkMetalOmega

its a psychological horror movie. i guarentee you wouldn't want to stay at a hotel that resembles that one after seeing this movie. the soundtrack augments the ominous tone of the movie.

[akumacornflakes]

@DarkMetalOmega Casting Jack Nicholson is probably the best and worst thing Stanley Kubrick did with this movie. The good thing is that when Jack Nicholson acts crazy, he acts CRAZY AS FUCK. The problem is that Jack Nicholson always looks crazy, so it's not surprising when he starts killing people. The fact that he played a crazy guy in "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" a few years earlier probably didn't help matters much.

[KillMarines]

the redrum voice? *shivers*

[thebeautifullfallen]

redrum is murder

[KillMarines]

I knew that i was only saying that the redrum voice is scary as hell.

[Lilgreboguitarist001]

Jack Nicholson really is a genuis at horror

[EagleVolkan]

wow at 0:46 is RESIDENT EVIL SOUND NICE

[HinataChick38]

the part with the elevator pouring blood, real creepy.

[premiedusten]

Jack Nicholson is a genius...

[rocklive22]

the book is MUCH better

[pr0kris]

@rocklive22

Really? I haven't read it, but surely any Kubrick film would be better than a Stephen King novel.

[CalverstownBeast]

I thought this movie was great! but sadly it didnt scare me? I wanted it to y'know? lol but i was scared of signs..

[DiniMcGee]

Yeah well it was not scary as said, it was disturbing i think....and yes Signs scare the hell outta me with the alien video...God! xD

[CalverstownBeast]

'yeah! lol his reactions so funny tho

[vincenoirandhoward]

Try watchin it at a young age. i first watched this film when i was about 6 and it scared the life out of me. Ive watched it since and its not scary. I think it is primarily meant to be a psychological thriller not a horror.

[safgfds]

yeah but i never understood this film... too much work and no play makes the fatha' go crazy? it doesn't make any sense... well, it does because of the isolation and the solitude, but what i'm trying to say is dat he suddenly wants to kill his family. Y? why does he suddenly want to murder his son and his wife?

[borgtennis]

Very true Kubrick's approach was very intellectual.

What could be scarier than to have your own father turn against you. In real life it is quite scary but in our age of aliens, viruses and matrix-like agents it is not as scary. But it is still a very good movie and one of the better adaptations of a Stephen King novel. Even if from a visceral point of view they are quite different.

[Apink420]

jack's wife was so ugly she was the scariest in the whole movie

[stewiehds]

okay, so i loved this book, but im too much of a wimp to watch the movie on my own.. my friends have super short attention spans as we are teenagers.. they don't respect classic horror. buuuut i can't watch it on my own.. do you thing that my friends will be able to get through this movie without messing it up for me? lol.

[jonnymoon]

well, there are lil parts were you will have to keep them watching, but i bet theyll love it as much as everyone else does, cuz this movie just is the best

[heyhalliehere]

well, it's a looot scarier than i expected it to be.. but compared to some other horrors it's not too horrible x] but its pretty good so yeah, try to watch it, and bear with the fear for a couple weeks

[IamTheShining]

i lov this film a hell of a lotsuch a classic horror

[MojoMoomey]

This is a classic

[crillep66]

Same music as in Resident Evil for PS1...?

[AbsolutelyHuman]

Yeah,it's great!

[akira6aki]

Oh. And many things aren't like in the book. That kinda pissed me off.

[seven2off]

definately the ultimate horror masterpeice...

absolutely gloriously terrifying, and perfect in every way..

i love this film.

[AwesomePictures]

couldnt have said it better myself.

[spongeeater]

omg so redrum means murder! lol i just started reading the book

[DiniMcGee]

Sorry about that pal! XD

[Ewin444]

I'm reading the book too but I found out that by myself! hahaha

[balrog13571]

This movie is great. A little slow, but that adds to the overall tension of watching him lose it. Jack and the lady who played the mom aren't the BEST actors, but they did pretty well in this. Glad I saw it.

[KenzieKaddl]

I agree, the mom isn't great but I think Jack nicholson did an awesome job! but that's just my opinion :)

[balrog13571]

Yeah he's good, but I just think he was kind of off in the middle of the film. Maybe it was just the character though. He didn't actually do anything till the end. I did think the shot where he was frozen looked kind of creepy though. It is a good film it's just that it takes awhile to pick up in the middle. But I guess that was the idea. Give that slow solitude thing a chance to build up then BAM!

[KenzieKaddl]

True, you make a good point

[akira6aki]

When I first read the book, I didn't know that there was also a movie made after it, so when I finished it, I thought "whao, this book whould make a brilliant movie". And when I heard the film was already made and that Jack Torrance was interpreted by Jack Nicholson, I knew that he was the best to interprete the caracter.

[JSEfilms]

I dont get it, I may only be starting Part 4 of the book, but why does he say Johnny when nobody calls him Johnny the whole book?!

[DiniMcGee]

Well that does`t appear in the book, Kubrick put it there because a Tv Show in that year (don't know the name) so thats why it doesn't appear in book

[ealm141]

it was johnny carson! thats how he always opened his show.

[Shattered4807]

Actually, I'm reading The Shining right now. Jack Torrance's real name is John. Jack is a nickname. Kubrick probably put "Here's Johnny!" in just to be clever and play off of the Johnny Carson Show. It's one of the most memorable parts of the film, so I think he made the right choice.

[Marckymarc71]

Kubrick didn't put it in there. Nicholson ad-libbed the line.

[xperiment17]

holy crap, so many opinions, i don't know who to believe

[smoog]

believe the one right above you. It was Nicholson ad-libbing.

[cuteboyishlips]

@DiniMcGee yes. it was the johnny carson show. HEEEREEE'S JOHNNY! was said when Johnny Carson came out onstage... I heard that Jack Nicholson just threw the line in and Kubrick liked it.

[ufuckfacesonofabitch]

@JSEfilms He is referring to "The Johnny Carson Show". Jack Nicholson improvised the line on set.

[tonialuvslecter]

I think perhaps schizophrenia runs in the family. it seems like a lot of horror movies play on the delusional aspects of schizophrenia.

[BABYREMI]

love this movie..currently reading the book
