The Shining

The Shining, released in May of 1980, has got to be one of the best mystery and horror films ever released.


When I came across this movie it didn't take long before I was hitting play.  I first saw it about 15 years ago and it was much better the second time.  Based on a book my Stephen King and directed by Stanley Kubrick.  It has physics, ghost and one crazy ass leading character played by Jack Nicholson.  He go's to live and an isolated inn to be the caretaker while its closed during the winter.  He brings his wife and son along while he tried to write a book.  The inn is filled with ghost that drive him crazy.  His son is physic and tries to worn them of the evil  within the inn but he's just a kid so they don't believe him.  The wife, played by Shelley Duvall, she was already crazy from the beginning of the movie.  Its a great movie and worth seeing again if its been few years since you last saw it.
