Title: An Equally Good Movie Version
Review: I'll start by saying that I really like Kubrick's version of "The Shining." But, I don't consider it to be an adaptation of the King novel because it does go so far from the source material. The ABC Mini Series version does a far better job of capturing King's original story. Overall the acting is great, the atmosphere is creepy and there are a few nice shocks thrown in for good measure. I do disagree with the "happy ending" that is tagged on. But, on the whole, it's a very minor complaint. Room 217 alone is worth the price of admission.
