The Shining by Stanley Kubrick is considered one of the greatest psychological horror films of our time. Combining isolation with madness, Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall give outstanding performances. Stephen King was excited at the prospect of Kubrick adapting his work but once the film came out, the excitement was very short lived.
In 2005, Stephen King thought he would adapt his own book into a miniseries for television. The film does stick to the book and includes many of the elements that made the book a hit but fans of Kubrick’s film were less than enthralled wild King purist to the source material are huge fans.
We are joined by Matthew Brockmeyer, Novelist of the excellent Kind Nepenthe, out now from all good bookstores.
