The Shining
1980, R, 142 min. Directed by Stanley Kubrick. Starring Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd, Scatman Crothers.
REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Wed., Nov. 17, 1999
Who would have ever thought to pair up Stanley Kubrick and Stephen King? But weird as it sounds, this creepy thriller works. Nicholson takes his family up to an isolated hotel for the snowed-in winter and then goes flagrantly bonkers. Redrum, indeed.
