I had not seen this movie in years. I mean, decades!
I was never that fussed over the movie to be honest although most seemed to champion the film.
So, last night I had another watch to see if I still felt the same.
I actually enjoyed the film. Not on the pedestal that some seem to put it and that's fine. Each to their own.
For me, what really helped the movie along was the soundtrack. A haunting music score played nearly throughout the whole movie giving a sense of menace. Some good camera work through the corridors of the hotel. So yeah, I liked it better last night then many years ago. It's okay.
I don't think Steven King likes it any better though !!
