that right . the movie be well than the book . don not get me wrong and i love the book . but the movie be just so much good . this film have jack nicholson and shelly duvall at their best . ( i haven not see scatman crothers and obviously danny lloyd in anything else . ) some of the idea use in this movie be good than the one use in the book . but i already talk about those in my comment on the mini series . but and i miss a few . the film be shoot at a good location than where the mini series be shoot . and the redrum scene be creepy than those in the book . so if youre look for a great movie and get stanley kubrick the shining . but count on have nightmare every night for 3 week .
