Editorial Reviews

Movie buffs are quick to point out that Stephen King's novel The Shining was adapted for the screen once before by none other than the great Stanley Kubrick. King, however, was not thrilled by the enormous liberties Kubrick took with one of his best books, and in 1997 he wrote and executive-produced this four-hour-plus TV miniseries. Shot at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado (the hotel that had inspired the novel in the first place), The Shining tells the story of a struggling writer who spends a winter as the caretaker of a haunted resort hotel. Snowbound there with his wife and telepathic son, he comes down with one hell of a case of cabin fever. Steven Weber takes over the role that Jack Nicholson made so famous and leads a truly faithful King adaptation that dispenses with Kubrick's existential angst and black humor. Weber's more accessible performance is central to this newer version's success, which emphasizes one of the original story's strengths: the horrifying descent of a truly likable family man into rage and violence. Rebecca De Mornay portrays the terrorized wife, and here again the performance is earthbound and human, a sharp contrast to Shelley Duvall's weepy foil in the Kubrick film. The miniseries' extended length helps as well, allowing for thorough character development that gives it a distinctive King feel. The author also restores important story elements, including the harried climax amid topiary animals, which Kubrick replaced with a hedge maze. While none of this will make movie fans forget Kubrick's 1980 masterpiece, this Shining is all King and stands on its own as an effective adaptation of a horror classic.

The Master's Versionby Anonymous

March 13, 2009: Make no mistake, THIS is the completely credible film version of one of Stephen King's best books. This movie was quite difficult for me to watch - (and THAT is what horror is supposed to be about). It is very true to the book and so realistic, that it becomes absolutely nail-bitingly intense. As King did/does in (all of) his book(s), this film takes the time to actually develop real characters that you can identify with and relate to, and then creates situations that will make you mind-numbingly nervous. Once you see this version, you will NEVER bother to watch the Kubrick version again. NEVER!

January 10, 2009: This is the true King original. Unlike Kubrick's mess from the 80's which was dramatically OVER acted, took enormous liberties,featured Duval as a lame/sad wife with no gumption, and Nicholson and his over the top madness. This lengthier version, which is well acted, allows for great character development and follows King's storyline to a "T". For those fans of the book, THIS is the movie version for you! Forget Kubrick's version and buy this one - you will not be disappointed.
