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 ...
