The Shining novel is phenomenal, while The Shining movie is only alright.  King wrote something perfect that Kubrick decided to overlook for the sake of creepy visuals, and that’s not what I would have done, not what any great director should have done with that amazing source material.  I’m about to read Doctor Sleep before I see this new film version, and I’m interested to see which I like better, but I’d put my money of Stephen over a director who’s no Stanley.
