Then there is the ending, way to happy and sentimental for my tastes. True in the book Jack did swing around a type of croquette mallet, but I think an ax is far more scary and threatening. However, Shelly was much better at showing fear. The cast just does not measure up to the first though, I will say Rebecca De Morney looks more like the gal described in the book then Shelly what's here last name. The plot is just like the original version though as a family moves into a house to take care of it in the winter.

The overlook was much more sinister and you really had the feeling it was isolated, this one not so much. Sure he was a bit to crazy early in the movie in the original, but he was perfect near the end. These things could work in say a 100 million dollar movie made for the summer, but not a television movie.

The hedge animals for instance, they look terrible here and you know they would have looked even worse then. I will be the first to say Kubrick's version was almost an entirely different entity than the novel, but he probably knew some of the stuff in the book just would not fly or look very good. You have the basic plot intact, however all the best bloody scenes, all the cussing, the nudity, and all the other stuff present in the novel is taken from the movie and you are left yawning because somehow the edge is gone and so are all the scares. The problem with this movie like all other Stephen King television movie adaptations is that it is a watered down and neutered version of the book.
