@NachoMachoLibre I agree with you. Stephen King said in an interview, back when this version came out in the mid 90's, that he wasn't satisfied with the version with Jack Nicholson in it. This version is extremely close to the book, which is what he wanted. I think this version is much, much better--it's one of my favorite movies, actually. I read the book, and I think the only difference is how it ended, but it wasn't that big of a deal. The ending here is cool, too.

@rocksoliddude1 Thats the problem with it! It's supposed to be an eerie supernatural horror film, (the way the author intended it to be) not a mans descent into murderous madness. Jack was a victim of the hotel just as much or maybe even more than his family was. That is what makes the book so disturbing.

@NachoMachoLibre Exactly my sentiments! The Stanley Kubrick/Jack Nicholson version is sesame street compared to the novel.

the nicholson film is a psychological film that is difficult to get under the skin of, it's an atmospheric masterpiece with great acting and scary underlying meanings. everything is this film is presented to the audience in a silly, plastic and corny way.
