They both have casts that include some of the best cinema actors to be found and were both somewhat groundbreaking in their direction and cinematic ...
...possession. Having said that, they tap very different sources of horror in us, sources that have almost been tapped dry since. In the case of 'The Exorcist' it is the shock and awe of demonic evil. With 'The Shining' it is the familiar becoming the dangerous.
