Rating: 4/4 --
The classic Stanley Kubrick film isn't just scary - it is also, in its own odd way, defined by a hopeful perspective on life and death.

Kubrick takes the trash material of the book so seriously, giving us optical purity, frame by languorous frame. But the material can't support that kind of handling, and we're denied the few simple pleasures we expect from a scare movie.

Maclean's Magazine
Nicholson gives the performance of his life here, subtly changing from a vaguely defeated family man to a maniacally leering American version of Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
[The Torrence's] night of anarchy, spearheaded by Nicholson's ferocity, has become one of cinema's most iconic and deranged events.

Dr. Filmlove's Film Reviews and Ratings
When you sit down to The Shining, you sit down with normal expectations of being diverted, perhaps even being gripped, but not being undermined. But the film undermines you in powerful, inchoate ways.

Boston Globe
Kubrick is master of visual images, and many of the scenes display his brilliance. But much of the suspense ends in anti-climax, and Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall seem over-extended in trying to maintain the terror.

Associated Press
If The Shining isn't trivial, it certainly encourages one to think that it is. But, perhaps, even that's a change for the better. Generally, it's the other way around.
