midnight movie at fenway amc... so, ive been hearing about the shining and how great and scary it is. i was rather disappointed by the film, if i can be completely honest. in fact, id go so far as to say it really sucked. i mean, i bet it was amazing and terrifying when it came out 20ish years ago. but in 2005... its a huge dud. i was so incredibly bored... repetitive and drawn out scenes looking at the inside of the hotel, a sloooow moving "plot", poor acting and the dialog was forced and unrealistic. plus, im just not into domestic violence and familial terrorization as an interesting or exciting basis for a film. i did like the supernatural aspects, although poorly executed. and the scene with the flood of blood, and the mirrored redrum were definitely worthy of note. all in all, it was a good first try. but id have to say it really could use some editing... better yet, a 2005 remake might be nice.
