So...do you think is the best horror movie of all time? I have so many favorites in the genre, but this might be the best. It's probably the best. Oh crap - how did they get the actor playing Danny, the son, to act possessed? The kid did one movie after the Shining and that was it, I believe. It is an amazing performance. Jack is wonderful; but then he always is. Every role he takes on turns into such a "Jack" role. I say - this is the role he was made for, and then I watch Five Easy Pieces, and say - this is the role he was made for...and so on.
Shelley Duvall is a sweet character who watches her husband go nuts and decides to take care of her kid instead of sticking around for Jack the redrum nutjob. I would take that role. If I could act. And it's creepy. This movie ratchets up the tension in a good way. I need to check out S Kubrick again.
