the ending of the movie? the hedge maze and jack freezing to death was really well done I thought, that image of jacks twisted face frozen to death is iconic horror

in the book I believe jack snaps out of his insanity and blows up himself and the hotel? and instead of the hedge maze they had the living hedge animals? I watched the made for TV version of the shining that stephen king was involved in, the version he wanted to see done, and I was not impressed to be honest

I just really like how stanley took the movie to a whole other level, I love the music, the way the movie is shot, the imagery, the atmosphere and the look of the hotel, the mystery behind everything, the constant feeling of dread, all the little nuances he put in the movie. I like how he pushed the actors to the breaking point, jack nicholson would not have been as good as jack if they used the first takes for every scene, but by the 200th take he was probably really bordering insanity and you can see it in the film lol

I Am Not Your Negro (2016) - Writer James Baldwin tells the story of race in modern America with his unfinished novel, Remember This House.

Still my favorite movie this year. 10/10

In the whole book Jack was constantly having to monitor the pressure of the boiler. And the monster, e.g. The house, was subtly commenting on Jacks in ability to manage the house (the kids and the wife). And at the end the wife realizing this reminds Jack that he has forgot to check the boiler (e.g. He wasn't able to manage the house as he let the boiler go critical and blow up the house). Running around the hedge garden and freezing with a stupid grin on his face was just, imo, a stupid way to have him die.

The Kubrick movie lent itself to jack becoming a monster because of his drinking whereas the tv version lent itself to jack becoming the monster that was the house. Walking the halls banging the mallet on the walls like in the book while drooling and looking monstrous was great. The look on Jacks face when realizing he forgot the boiler was classic. Loved it. But to each his own.

Just another point, in the book there was the hedge maze and the animals that "came alive"

IT 9.5/10
I don't like horror movies but this was a great movie. It scared the crap out of me and also had me laughing so hard. Intense movie that had my wife clutching my hand one scene and both of us laughing together the next. I'm fascinated by the character now and may go back and read the book to learn more.
