I can see why Stanley Kubrick said no to Stephen King's script, because this was f**king awful.

This movie lacks a lottttttt of suspense. The book had more suspense, and was more horrific. The acting is pretty poor. The score is so-so. Kubrick’s version is way better considering it takes place in the 70s when the book was written. This version just feels so lackluster on how it’s done. It’s true that it has a lot more of the book to it, but it feels incredibly weak in every stimulating sense.

From Stephen Kings come’s a truly horrific new vision of his beloved novel, The Shining, as a cheesy 3-part ABC miniseries. Produced and scripted by King, recovering alcoholic Jack Torrance moves his family to the Overlook Hotel in Colorado after taking a job as the winner caretaker, but unbeknownst to them the hotel is haunted by evil spirits which begin drawing strength from their son’s psychic ability. Rebecca DeMornay, Steven Weber, and Courtland Mead lead the cast, giving awful performances; Mead in particular is ruinous, delivering some of the worst line readings. Though to be fair, the script is terrible. And the sets and make-up effects look incredible cheap, and aren’t the least bit scary. A complete trainwreck, Stephen King’s The Shining fails at every level.

In this version. It takes an hour for the family to even be at the hotel. That’s probably how slow the book was. Mick Garris was just being faithful to it. However, the slowness could easily lose a viewers interest. Especially when it’s a 4 hours mini-series. If you want a version more faithful to the book. Then this is for you, though. Since Jack doesn’t go instantly nuts and is a loving father and husband. Who is fighting his demons of being a former abusive alcoholic.

The version that King made because Kubrik ruined his story. It is a must watch for any King fan.

Now anyone who is familiar with King adaptations knows that they are either just terrible awful messes, big budget hits or low budget campy experiences. (This is the latter) so proceed with caution if More

Slow build up, but there isn't much good "building up" it's more just going on with it's little drama of getting to the hotel and then getting set up with it. It's only after an hour to an hour and a half that things start happening.

Critically, it has interesting characterization and themeing wi More

Stephen King's version of his own Novel. Clearly addressed for the TV. The cast is not really good, although the father performs well when he is drunk and scary. The story is more explained and easier to follow than in Kubrick's. Interesting, but not a moview to watch twice.
