Ah! The Shining! Everybody knows the title and the horror it represents. Everybody has heard of it at least once. The first thing that comes to mind is the scene where Jack Torrance tries to bring down a door with an ax while his wife screams helplessly on the other side. And that's the image people who
haven't seen it get upon hearing the name. Those that have seen it, like myself? We recall the cascade of blood from the elevators, the ghost in the bathtub, the twins, the creepy hotel... and of course, REDRUM.

What about the book? The book was WAY better than the movie. But I will only review the book for now.
