I think this film is really overrated, but Nicholson's talented acting makes it entertaining.

There's a sequel called "Doctor Sleep" that's basically the same style as a superhero movie.

It certainly is memorable. I mostly felt like I didn't get it when I watched shining. And yet for a movie I watched once, many years ago, I seem to still be able to remember quite a bit.

Didn't know about Doctor Sleep. Might check it out, thanks.

You need to see "Room 237", it is a masterpiece that explains a large part of the film The Shining

Great entry! The last sentence of your review sums it up nicely: no escape, even for the audience.
