The Movie is great, but it seems like the only actor who gave a really good performance was Jack Nicholson.

I know this is a 1980 movie and movies have come a long way since then, but man this movie sucks so bad! Nothing is serious about this movie, even the ratings are way stretched, the fade transition between scenes is appaling and the story is a 5 minutes made 144 minutes, I literally had to speed the movie 30% to keep it watchable. All in all, this movie is a true meme!

This is one of Stanley Kubrick's best films. A true horror movie without having to rely on jump scares or gimmicks. The score is truly unsettling and with the cuts of disturbing imagery it builds tension well. Jack Nicholson gives the performance of his career here. The Overlook Hotel is so unique. The attention to detail and production design is flawless.

Firstly the isolation element is banged into us hard. Soon Jack sweet talks the hotel owner into giving hin the caretakers job and is told about the former murder tragedy ten years ago. It's well acted.
Shelley does a good job as Wendy. She plays a nervous wreck well. Danny talks to his finger More

Probably my favorite of the Stephen King adaptations (though not much for many of the others save for a one or two) but not amongst Stanley Kubrick's, watched this one for the first time in many years (maybe a decade) and while I did immensely enjoyed it, and really liked Nicholson towards the end, More

A masterpiece. Kubrick chose a perfect cast and uses the timing and music to create a greatly opressing atmosphere.

Nicholson is superb, but Duval and the kid are not less good.
