chilling and majestic piece of cinematic fright and this film combine all the great element of an intellectual thriller and with the grand vision of a director who have the instinctual capacity to pace a moody horror flick within the realm of his filmmaking genius that include an eye for the original shot and an ice cold soundtrack and an overall sense of dehumanization . this movie cut through all the typical horror movie like a red poker through a human eye and a it allow the viewer to not only feel the violence and psychosis of it protagonist and but appreciate the seed from which the derangement stem . one of the scary thing for people to face be the unknown and this film present it plotting with just that think in mind . the setting be perfect and in a desolate winter hideaway . the quietness of the moment be a character in itself and a the fermenting aggressor in jack torrance mind wallow in this idle time and and breed the devil new playground . i always felt like the presence of evil be dormant in all of our mind and with only the circumstance of the moment and and the reason give therein and need to wake it violent as and pounce over it unsuspecting victim . this film be a perfect example of this very thought . and it be within this film subtle touch of the canvas and the clackity clack of the young boy big wheel rid along the empty hallway of the hotel and the labyrinthian garden represent the mind fine line between sane and insane and kubrick purposely transfixed edit inconsistency and continuity error and set mi arrangement and that we discover a world guide by the righteous and tangible and but coax away by the powerful and unknown . i have never read the book upon which the film be base and but without that a a comparison point and i be proud to say that this be one of the most terrifying film that i have ever see . i think that the runtime of the film could have be cut by a little bit and but then again and i be not one of the most acclaimed director in the history of film and so maybe i should keep my two cent criticism over a superb film and to myself . all in all and this movie capture your attention with it grand form and vision and rope you in with some terror and eccentric direction and and tie you down and stab you in the heart with it cold eye view of the man mind go overboard and creepy atmosphere and the loss of humanity . rating represent positive .
