While I thought the film was well produced and well-acted, the screenplay adaptation was a letdown. I was too busy trying to figure out what was going on and what the ghosts’ motivations were to really be scared. And you never really find out, but I guess could interpret it any number of ways. I could really see how Kubrick had an influence on David Lynch, with all those random confusing moments that are never explained.

The Shinning is still one of the all time best movies on my list. It has a great combination of craziness and back door comedy.
