| Horror 100 No. 27 (Previously No. 74) Another superb Stephen King adoption - but credit an amazing performance from Jack Nicholson for this one. Nicholson is at his craziest as Jack Torrance, who moves his wife and young son into the haunted hotel he is assigned to look after. Jack becomes increasingly loopy as the ghosts take control; until the great, and chilling, finale. Maverick director Stanley Kubrick dosen't always get it right here; he frequently strays from King's original novel, the actual sequences featuring little Danny Lloyd (as Jack's son) and Scatman Crothers from which the film takes it's name seem somewhat pointless, and isn't it just a little over-long? That said, there are some unforgettable images and lines ('Here's Johnny!'), and the climax is heart-stopping. Another impressive addition to the portfolio of Kubrick, one of the great directors of the 20th Century. |
