Negative Positive
Title: How Times Change
Review: It's amazing. When Kubrick's version hit theaters twenty odd years ago, it was universally panned by critics, fans and King himself. Very little positive was said about it, from Jack's overblown performance, to Shelley Duvall's non-performance, to Kubrick's butchering of the story.Yet, today, it's hailed as a hallmark of horror cinema and a Film Master's under-appreciated masterpiece.How times do change...Which brings me to the mini-series. Perfect? Of course not. Horrible? Not at all. Well made, well cast and well written (by King himself no less...so I have to laugh at stabs on the writing), it offers a tour through the Overlook fans were denied in 1980. Some moments work, others don't.But all in all, still a fun ride through the haunted house.Sort of like Kubrick's "The Shining" when it first came out.Let's see what people have to say about this one in twenty years.
Is the review positive or negative?
