A shining turkey

Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" is a classic horror movie, starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. The movie is loosely based on a Stephen King novel.

The movie is, of course, a turkey. It's not a co-incidence that "The Shining" has been frequently lampooned over the years. Especially the evil twins. Another iconic scene shows Nicholson looking at us through a big hole in the bathroom door. Here comes Johnny!

Personally, I was scared by this movie when I was about 10 years old. Today, I suspect that the only people who like it are Stanley Kubrick cultists. But then, they like "Eyes Wide Shut" as well.

However, I readily admit that Jack Nicholson is excellent starring a man slowly descending into madness. He always is. Now, *that's* scary.
