One of those films that is a classic for a reason.
It's been on my list of movies to watch forever and a day and I finally got to it in 2023.
This is an experience, masterfully shot and some of the most intense and engaging performances I have ever seen.
Nicholson and Duvall have a complex chemistry that works at so many levels, which is essential to the make up of this story and anchors the first class direction.
This is cinematically spectacular, the sets and the the design of this film is isolating, terrifying and captivatingly beautiful all at the same time.
Worth all of the accolades and hype, even at 43 years old this film delivers in spades.
Plot summary
Jack Torrance accepts a caretaker job at the Overlook Hotel, where he, along with his wife Wendy and their son Danny, must live isolated from the rest of the world for the winter. But they aren't prepared for the madness that lurks within.

Amazing Watch!
An absolute classic. Even if it does stray away from the novel.
While I can understand a lot of Stephen King's arguments over Kubrick's vision, including casting Jack Nicholson who instead of a descent into madness looks insane from the first frame. This is still an absolute classic.
