I sort of liked the book, but the parts that very sort of scary were very different. Actually the whole movie is quite different from the book. In any case, I don't really get scared in movies or reading books, so what can I say. I love the movie and this is the most appropriate category.
It's also a movie which seriously should be seen in a theatre. It has such an intense atmosphere, a gripping soundtrack and amazingly clever visual details that it just don't work the same in a TV. For example the classic hallway scene... (out of the many classic scenes)
... (which look sort of silly when cut out from the movie) has this very clever little detail of an essentially blood red fire alarm on the lefthand wall. In a TV it doesn't really affect the scene much, but when in a theatre, it's actually kind of a sizable blood colored object in the "real" world, which is really freaky. You look and try to see blood, there's no blood... but you still see the color of blood. It's all in your head, and it isn't... Nicely done, mr. Kubrick.
I don't really know what to say about this movie. I just love it. So I guess I'll just post this BRILLIANT spoof trailer, for those who have seen the movie.
