Jack Nicklesons finest ever performance in my opinion on what has become a cult classic over the years. A very scary film in the way it affects the mind although it is very slow to get going. The masterful Direction of kubrick shows in this film as it was written and rewritten again. Stephen King who wrote the book was not happy with this film as he thought it was scary or violent enough, but I and other fans of the film will tend to disagree. Also an excellent supporting actress role from Duvall really helps this film. There will never be another of its kind or magnitude and it is a must for any horror fans video collection. So don't delay, buy today.
