Classic horror movie curse strikes again...

24/6/09
The Shining - I went into this movie dreading that it may turn out to be a disappointment due to other recent viewings of "classic" horror movies which kinda sucked (the Exorcist and Friday the 13th, Im looking at you!). While it was better than those 2 movies, it was still a lil disappointing. It was one of those films where Ive seen lots of bits of, and any I hadnt seen directly had been seen as parodies. For this reason, ill never know what impact the movie could have had had I been watching it all for the first time. Jack Nicholson is great. Not just in this movie, but in general. If he hadnt been here, I probably would have switched off half way through. There were lots of "whats going on?!" moments and nothing was really explained... For this reason, it only gets a 5/10
