This film turned out to be wayyy scarier than I was expecting. It really messed me up in some parts and the slow-burn nature of it allowed me to feel totally part of the story. Thank you, I'm not sleeping tonight. Enjoy :)

The way Jack’s stare froze you in your tracks. 😳

this movie is so good!! the way it just gives you this creepy feeling. it's been years since i've seen it and it still gives me the heebie jeebies more so than the more graphic horror i've seen. kubrick was a menace but he was a genius when it came to film. my favorite of his is paths of glory. the he portrayed war is remarkable. he had a gift when it came to film. this is one that is so...classic? it's got a quieter kind of fearfulness to it that just sticks with you. it and shutter island are up there for me.

Misery is a must watch.

Yes, this is another great iconic suspense/horror film. It really produces the sense of isolation and increasingly tense environment. Watching it again got me thinking that many modern films do not commit time and effort to atmosphere and build-up. When you do, the payoff is very rewarding for the viewer. When you don't, you tend get more of a shallow movie - what people are now calling tik-tok style (fast, bombastic and easily forgotten).

From what I heard, it was Shelly Duvalls performance as Wendy that Steven King didn’t like. I guess in his novel that character wasn’t so passive and submissive. I don’t know, I think the Director’s choice to portray her as she performed added a lot to the tension. It made it easy to empathize with her as we saw her vulnerability. Your reaction was very real and made watching this Classic even more enjoyable.

You must, must, must do One Flew Over the Coocoo's Nest for a GREAT Jack Nicholson movie.
