Change just a couple of things -- and granted, they're major things -- and you'd have a satisfying and textured ghost story... The first thing that would have to change is the acting. It is, in a word, awful.

Cinema Crazed

A mediocre horror thriller that doesn't quite top Kubrick's vision, in spite of the talent behind it.

Variety

A consistent, carefully textured story that rarely gives you the chance to properly breathe.

Observer

The most terrifying thing about this crap-fest was Steven Weber's acting.

This version is more faithful to the book -- six hours (with commercials) of lugubrious, slavish faithfulness.

The Dissolve

A screen adaptation of a book can respect the original text and still be terrible. It can respect the author's wishes and still be terrible. Still, few adaptations are as openly awful as the TV version of The Shining.

Perhaps the flawed gem that is Stephen King's The Shining could never hope to match the greatness of Kubrick's film. Yet it still stands as a worthy companion piece.

New York Times

Mr. King's script and the direction of Mick Garris slowly and skillfully bring The Shining to a pitch of screeching horror. Mr. Weber, shucking the light comedy of sitcom, is chillingly effective.

It's torture. It's hell. And millions will tune in, attracted by King's reputation as America's scaremaster... The best thing would be for everybody to avoid it like the plague, because it is the plague.

Entertainment Weekly

There's a deep, rich creepiness suffusing Stephen King's The Shining that makes this miniseries the most frightening TV movie ever made.

Orlando Sentinel

The running time unwisely inflates this intimate story of a three-member family coming apart at the isolated hotel in the Colorado Rockies. The Stand was an epic. The Shining is not.
