It’s a little too long for me but I like it

John Scognamiglio

One of the all time great thrillers. Nicholson is great as the menacing father slipping into madness

Uneasy, hypnotic descent into madness. Kubrick's slow-burn horror masterpiece. Redrum, isolation, and iconic terror.

One of the most unsettling, unique and ambiguous horror movies ever made

one of the greatest horror movies ever made, period. the sense of isolation and paranoia is the perfect catalyst for this madness descent

Great acting but it seemed to be disconnected several times!! Beautiful hotel and scenery!

This movie lives up to the hype! The music makes it so much more suspenseful. And of course the acting is phenomenal

There’s a reason why this is widely considered to be the greatest horror movie of all time I’m gonna say is watch it now!

Disgusting that they gave Shelly a worst actor award for this film. Her performance is painfully real, better than jacks joker impression ;)

Intelligent horror, real characters. No drunken teens-a true classic!!!
