the shining

Advantages: terifying
Disadvantages: not long enough

...fan of Steven Kings , The Shining!!!!!! If you have never seen it before hold onto your seats!!!! This is Jack Nicholson at his best. Filmed in the 80,s , i can watch it over and over. They don,t make them like this any more. !!!!! You are scared from beginning to end, just looking at Jacks eyes are enough to give anyone nightmares!!!!! It is set in a hotel where his wife and son go to look after and he goes rather crazy and well i dont want ...

Kubrick classic

Advantages: Suspense, must have classic, good excuse to cuddle up
Disadvantages: Some confusion to plot, need plenty of fingers to peep through & cushions

...originally sometime ago and love the fact that its on DVD. Nicholson in one of his best known roles of 'madness at its best'. Can really identify with the 'cabin fever' feeling of a family 'trapped' together - something like Christmas here. Great story, stunning backdrop and suspense until the very last shot. Only justifies the Stephen King novel - book,film, dvd -ideal viewing. The best part of the film is the need to still hide behind a cushion ...

How does it compare to ...

Two slices of classic horror Americana for the price of one.

Advantages: 2 for 1, classic proven films, Jack Nicholson, Linda Blair, Stephen King, Stanley Kubrick
Disadvantages: May look cheap for buying 2 for 1.

Classic film in pairs? This product, though hardly related, allows the hardcore horror fan an opportunity at a lower priced option for a shared copy of two of the most influential films in horror history. First, the Exorcist (1973) provides the viewer a reason to keep a close eye on the children. Staring the insatiable Linda Blair, the intense imagery was a first in mass acceptance in American Motion Pictures and instilled fear in thousands of fans. ...
...new level. Based on the novel of the same title by the horror god himself Stephen King, Stanley Kubricks film answer to this impeccable tale spirals from normalcy to insanity. There is no downside to this opportunity! Both films are must see, and packaged together are certain to be double trouble. -CC ...

a great family film

Advantages: funny and a must-see
Disadvantages: may not be suitable for younger children

...and although I do enjoy the Rick Moranis remake, I do adore this version. Steve Martin is brilliant in the newer one, but Jack Nicholson rivals him for comedy performance in the original. Behind the comedic plot of a giant-talking-man-eating plant that needs more meat as it grows bigger and bigger, the story is rather sad, as poor Seymour tries his best to satisy Audrey ll (the plant) and the girl of his dreams Audrey. A few laughs are definate with ...

Fun shop of murdering

Advantages: Worth Seeing, Cheap, Really Fun
Disadvantages: For specific audiences only, cover makes different picture from the film

...comedy is still on sale, the comedy itself is far away more developed that it's year of release, although this movie can only attract just two types of audiences: 1: Crazy comedies' fans or 2: Fans which seen this comedy of it's year of release. Firstly, this film is not the one which calls itself a comedy and makes you sleep at the lunch time, "Little Shop of Horrors" really makes you laugh, doesn't matter who or how old are you, you always going ...
...more victims to feed it, the story tells a real- life situations as in 1960's funniest form available, when the person gets a lot, he always wants more... Actors are trying to perform at their best, especially i seen the great performance on the main characters (starring Jonathan Haze and Jack Nicholson), although their emotions are certainly unreal and film has made some clear errors. Audio and voice quality are great as for old-age black and white ...
