The actor who played Ullman really impressed me. He has only one big scene but he seemed really into his character.

As a fan of the novel, I do prefer this over Kubrick's version (even though I think its a solid film if not necessarily a good adaptation)...but there are a few key things that would have made it a lot better: 1. If they didn't show Tony fully until near the end and had him more mysterious for most of the series 2. If they put more effort into the cgi (even by mid 90s standards it was kinda bad) and only use it when they couldn't do practical effects 3. If they made it for a cable network who would've let them keep the R-rated edge of the novel 4. If they had trimmed it down to two parts instead of three so that the tension was better maintained

Man Spoony did a great job playing Jack in this miniseries.

This was great! There are several episodes of yours that I've watched over over, this will be one of them 😂

I'll say that at least with this version we see Torrance's slow descent into madness instead of the already unhinged Nicholson (believe me I LOVE Kubrik's adaptation it's one of my favorite films of all time). With how long this version runs you have much more time to develop the madness the hotel and it's ghost brings on.

Especially when you voice over Steven Weber’s Jack Torrance with an always, over-the-top angry, agitated voice a drunk father would always have. I laughed my guts so hard, I thought I would die of both horror and laughter at the same time.

The hedge animals were scary in the book, but likely harder to pull off in the film. I feel like instead of CGI you could maybe pull it off with like, guys in a hedge costume? Especially if they still had them there when they were first introduced just standing super still to add that degree of surrealism. Did they still cut the thing in the play tunnel though?

It could be done, but not on a TV budget. You don't need to even show the hedges moving in-camera, just make them way bigger and place them in different places between cuts. At the end when Halloran comes to the Overlook and burns one of the hedge animals there's a blizzard going on, so then you can use CGI and have them obscured by the falling snow.

Like a fish? Yeah, that sounds about right.

I understand why King hated Kubrick's version. You can tell while reading the book that it was a very personal story to King and he probably wrote Jack based off his own experiences (being a high school teacher with alcoholism). So it makes sense he took it personally when Kubrick made Jack into a complete psychopath who never seemed like a good person, even before the supernatural shenanigans. All that being said, IMO, Kubrick's movie is better than the novel. (Don't get me started on the PoS "sequel" Doctor Sleep)

I had just come home from a semester abroad in Liverpool when this aired so I was still dealing with jet lag and was half asleep during this whole miniseries. The only thing I remember is the very end. 😆

Finally it's back. It was on my watch later list but was removed the day I wanted to watch it
