The horror aspect has been severly muted by age and familiarity, but the movie is still impressive as a study of a character's slow decent into madness and as a technical achievment from its maestro director Stanley Kubrick.

Pretty scary and atmospherical. Loved Nicholson's acting and the hotel… the great floors and corridors and the maze outside just added to the creepy feeling… and one of the major appeals of the movie is probably the fact that you're never quite sure what the heck is actually going on. Cool!

This is one of my all-time favourite films. It is important, however, to note that it took me a few viewings to really appreciate it – ultimately, I watched it alone, in the dark, and with headphones on. I feel like that is the only way you are going to experience a horror film the way it was supposed to be.
Also, I personally thought it was a lot better than the book. I have only seen the UK release version – supposedly the US release is slightly more overt in it's paranormal subject matter – and I found it far more memorable because it wasn't so clear cut what was happening.
