Roger Ebert

Kubrick's film is so strangely disturbing. Yes, it is possible to understand some of the scenes of hallucination ... The movie is not about ghosts but about madness and the energies it sets loose.

The Guardian

The new film, as I see it, is a progression of that bleak vision - the tale of a man so isolated within a void of his own making that even bloody madness seems an escape.

Great film, which will leave you in a way frightened. Excellent camera work and a career defining performance from Jack Nicholson.

The Shining is so completely brilliant across the board. Jack Nicholson plays one of the most unnerving characters in horror film history.
