The Shining

The film, based on Stephen King's novel, stars Jack Nicholson, in a brilliantly-performed role.

'Nearly 30 years after its initial release, The Shining remains an unparalleled study in isolation, madness and paranoia,' the Telegraph quoted Matt McAllister, editor of Totalscifionline.com, as saying.

'The expansive sets, surreal visuals, and an intense performance from Jack Nicholson add up to a film guaranteed to give viewers a sleepless night,' McAllister added.
