A masterpiece of Kubrick. Nicholson performs one of scariest hero in the history of cinema. Tension keeps getting stronger all along the film.
It took me a while to start watching this movie, and a while to finish it. While I don't particularly enjoy horror movies, I found The Shining absolutely brilliant.
It isn't really gore: what is scary is the state of mind Jack Nicholson falls into and how you can't distinguish what is real and what he thinks is real. It's the story of how isolation can make a man scarily crazy.
If you can handle the tension, you should WatchThis for the characters and the incredible scenes that made The Shining a classic.
