| Pros | Nicholson, Kubrick's direction, script, everything |
| Cons | None |
| Bottom Line | Not to be snobby, but it's crazy finding people who still haven't seen this. With the special edition released last year, this is the perfect time. |

| Pros | Jack Nicholson's performance, well-shot |
| Cons | Not creepy at all, Shelley Duvall, overlong and plodding |
| Bottom Line | In the end, "The Shining" is a well-crafted film, but as a horror film, it takes way too long to develop. Worth seeing for Nicholson's performance, though. |
