the shining, as a movie, still creeps me out... i think it's the isolation part that scares me the most... and those creepy twins in the hallway... oh, and that creepy old lady that jack nicholson kisses accidentally... fuck, the whole lot creeps me out actually... it's got to be one of the best horror movies ever made... the last scene where it goes to the photo, where nicholson's character, jack torrance, turns out to be the caretaker that has always been there...
shelley duvall as his, quite literally, long suffering wife is wondrously creepy herself in a tortured, totally tormented and traumatised kind of way... you feel really sorry for her but she's almost too freaky to want to give her a cuddle... and the character played by the great scatman crothers (what a name!!!) who comes all that way in the snow to help out jacks son, danny, just to get an axe in the chest about 5 minutes after he arrives at the hotel... doh!!!
