How bad is the 'other Shining'? (the one released in the 90s with one of the actors from Wings) From what i hear it sticks closer to the book but the acting is just horrible.

Endless dialog from C level actors with little to no tension or suspense. It's what you might think you would get from a made for TV version of a King novel.

Just think of all the other King novels that were made for TV (IT, The Stand, The Tommyknockers, et. al.) and you get the idea.

Yeah yikes, not too good on that. Maybe, sometime in the off-season if I have time, but this time of year much better horror movies will be a better way to spend time.

You're better off watching Plan 9 From Outer Space or Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

The made for TV version of The Shinning, and all the other King novels that were turned into multi-part TV specials, is absolute and total garbage.

You want some scary movies? Try any of the VHS movies (the second is the scariest in my opinion) or the J-horror movie The Audition.

I think the first VHS was far and away the best one. The second one is fairly decent and the third one is the worst of the trio but still fun to watch.

The second V/H/S's last story was by far one of the scariest things I have watched in my life. Not only tense and scary but disturbing and horrifying.

many didn't like it. but some did. I did. yes kubrics shining is a great movie even though for whatever ****ing reason he didn't stick to the book. WHY? I dunno. always pissed me off....especially leaving out the hedge animals. just ****ing STUPID. and the ending! what a STUPID ending stanley! king got it right in the book so don't **** with it!

the steven weber version...I liked it. it was a little long winded though. but I got my damn hedge animals and a MUCH better looking wendy! also the scene with the lady coming out of the tub after the boy is very disturbing considering it was on TV. pretty sick man. loved it.

I found out that a party I was at about 5 years ago while still living in PA was being hosted by "Jake", the stud man from Sixteen Candles. He makes custom furniture or something like that now. Kinda glad I didn't know because I would have been too tempted to hit him up with questions he's probably been asked a million times.

IMHO, The Shining TV series was horrible. The Kubric version is a masterpiece.

I love the kubric move other than the ending.
the book ending was so very touching and emotional and most importantly offered redemption for jack in that when it came right down to it he chose his family over the hotel. the ghosts are demanding that he let the steam off the boiler and Danny mentally contacts him...they exchange the oft repeated phrase in the book "kissin' kissin' that's what I've been missing"....and he decides...**** you ghosts....**** you hotel.... I'ma let this bitch blow!

for some reason kubric decided to have him freeze to death in a hedge maze that wasn't even in the book. I'm supposing the hedge maze happened because the technology of the times couldn't deal with living hedge animals.....and that's somewhat understandable.....but he coulda still stuck to the emotional ending from the book.

Steve Weber stood absolutely NO CHANCE of filling Nicholsons shoes. poor bastard.

Good - another Horror Movie thread - I love it!

Ok, so lately:

The Nightmare (the sleep paralysis doc.)
well sort of a documentary, I guess I'd consider it one.

It Follows was VERY well done IMO.

Watched The Nightmare. It was....it was good. But at the end of the day, it was still a documentary. Well made, interesting, but not particularly scary.

I'll have to check out "It Follows".
