[QUOTE=Gray Lensman;5031014]Kubrick's The Shining is indeed a great film, but it also manages to be a horrific adaptation at the same time. It falls more into the category of 'inspired by' rather than 'based on' when it comes to the novel.[/QUOTE]
I can agree with part of that. Not a big Kubrick fan...and maybe it's because films are IMO coldly technical I guess. Maybe that's why he failed to capture King's themes in The Shining.
