Away from the alcoholism that derails Jack’s writing career. Away from the violent outbursts that mar Jack’s past. But Jack’s young son Danny knows better. He possesses a psychic gift called the shining – a gift the hotel’s vile spirits desperately want... In the hands of Stephen King, the “dead” Overlook comes horrifyingly alive. Phantoms lurk, the message “redrum” appears with scary frequency, and even garden topiary lurches into macabre existence in this atmospheric shocker scripted by King from his own novel and directed by ace King screen adaptor Mick Garris (Sleepwalkers, The Stand)… Review: Good - Good Review: Not... quite... there. - I first saw the Kubrick version about 15 years ago and must have seen it at least 10 times by now. I remember being shocked by this film and almost too scared to continue watching! For me, it remains one of the most frightening horror movies of all time, and I don't scare easy. I have read the book, once, about 7 years ago and I loved it. I couldn't believe how different the original film was from the book. I'm a massive Stephen King fan and love all his books. The book fascinated me as it was full of good ideas, including the wasp's nest and the topiary animals. This was completely unexpected and I found the ideas refreshing. So, when I heard about this tv remake I was very curious and excited to watch it. (I appreciate the lower budget and tv censorship, but I can look past those things.) I sat down to watch this remake with a very open mind and no expectations with comparison to the original. I must say I was very impressed with new version. I really liked all the actors and I loved the fact this this version was so faithful to the book; very satisfying. What let it down, for me I think, was the essential element which I found to be largely missing - the horror. Don't get me wrong, I thought it rather creepy in places but I must admit it could have been delivered better. I thought they way they did the hedge animals was very good - except for when the animals began to move on their own, for all to see. I think this was a mistake. I liked the camera angles and the use of shadows, but when they used the CGI to make the animals actually move, I just thought 'oh no, there wasn't any need for that' and the effect was lost. Another scene which I thought was a tad over-done was the woman in the bathtub. When Danny first sees her - the make up effects were stunning. However, the close-up on her face wasn't necessary and I think it went on for a little too long. I think that should have been cut straight to the next shot, which was a zoomed out one of her beginning to move and with that horrible insane grin on her face and those staring eyes, which freaked me out somewhat! I think the hotel itself could have been a bit darker, scarier. It was too clean and well-lit. There were some good moments though, in the way that it comes to life on its own. I think that to give 4 stars is to be fair. It was a very good effort and conveyed the events of the book superbly. Obviously, it lacked the pure sensationalism of the original movie but it has to be said that Kubrick was a master director, and, whilst he strayed from the book and the chararcters were rather dumbed down, he did make a great horrow film. That aside, I was very pleased with this version and enjoyed the slower pace. I watched this film in three seperate instalments; I thought Part 1 was easily the best. Part 2 was good, but I thought Part 3 was the most lacking.I would certainly recommend it however, especially to King fans, although I warn that it should be taken on its own merits and not held in the same lofty reverance as the original film. Both are good in their own way. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Christine Carrie, Dolores Claiborne, Ellen Rimbauer, Elliott Gould, Melvin Van Peebles, Rebecca De Mornay, Sam Raimi, Shawnee Smith, Steven Weber, Wil Horneff Contributor Christine Carrie, Dolores Claiborne, Ellen Rimbauer, Elliott Gould, Melvin Van Peebles, Rebecca De Mornay, Sam Raimi, Shawnee Smith, Steven Weber, Wil Horneff See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,771 Reviews | | Format | PAL | | Language | English | | Number of discs | 2 | | Runtime | 4 hours and 19 minutes | ## Product Details - **Format:** PAL - **Contributor:** Christine Carrie, Dolores Claiborne, Ellen Rimbauer, Elliott Gould, Melvin Van Peebles, Rebecca De Mornay, Sam Raimi, Shawnee Smith, Steven Weber, Wil Horneff - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 4 hours and 19 minutes - **Number of discs:** 2 ## Images ![Stephen King's The Shining [DVD] [1997] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613ANKod80L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by C***U on 23 December 2025* Good ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not... quite... there. *by L***S on 27 September 2010* I first saw the Kubrick version about 15 years ago and must have seen it at least 10 times by now.
