One of the very few movies to freak out me the first time I saw it.
When I walk down long hotel corridors the image of those twin girls always pop into mind. The original trailer for the film was spooky.

Scariest movie of all time, in my book.

I don't find it that scary. the first time I saw it I did but not jack nicholson. just the old lady in the bathtub and the twins.

jack nicholson will never scare me. I find him really funny in the shining actually. He played the humour perfectly.

for some reason, I consider the grudge 2 (american) to be the scariest film ever. I screamed over 20 times in that. Fairy tale ghost shit gets me more than violence and gore.

the old lady in the bathtub is fucking terrifying.
i love the film, but not as much as the book.

the old lady in the bath tub makes me paranoid about being in a bathroom that has a closed shower curtain, so i always have to check. haha

hehe

the combination of the shower scene in psycho, the old bathtub lady & that bit in nightmare on elm street where freddie comes out of the plug hole have made me generally pretty scared about bathrooms

I didn't find it all that scary, but it is a very very good film. One of my all-time favourites.

I just don't understand why there are two versions of it. I have it on video and it doesn't make a lot of sense - especially since I saw it after I saw a version on TV that had child psychologist scenes and other stuff. In general that version was much easier to follow and understand. I'm a bit miffed that I spent $6 on a version that is shorter and not as good.

my boyfriend likes the other version. he said that stephen king had a lot of say in it, thus it is longer. he wanted to show the deterioration of the family which isn't really shown in kubrick's.

i never really found kubrick's to be scary.

The Shining was good, but not that scary. The freaky part would be Jack just standing in that big room with a demented look on his face, and the eerie music in the background humming along.

The only movies that really freak me are demons and stuff. I dont like demons.

No, I am talking about the two Kubrick versions.

"reeeedrrruuum...reeeddruuum...REDRUM!!!"

Two million years of human evolution and that's the best idea you can come up with?

it never freaked me. i loved it. i first saw it when i was 7 and fell in love ith it. Then at 14 i showed it to my friend. She held a pillow to her face for half of the moive.

Best part: The blood from the elevator.

from a psychological point of view, I tihnk that movie reeeeally fucks with you.

er, me anyway.

that movie still scares me, not in the like, "scream out-loud that scared the shit out of me!!!#@%" sense, but the idea of the story is really frightening.


edit: that made no sense. whatever. you know what I mean..

The freaky thing about it all is that a man would try to do that to his own family. Just butcher them. That's the sense you are trying to convey, and yeah, I understand ya.

i love the shining

however i find to make sense of the film you have to have read the book

what is everyones theories on the film? what it means? about what actually happens int he film?

i LOVE that movie. i own it.

my favorite part is when the blood gushes out of the elevator doors!

Eeek! That was creepy when that kid did that.

I haven't been able to finish watching it because whenever it's on TV I'm by myself. I always get scared about half way though.
