Yeah, without Nicholson's excellent turn as Jack Torrence and Kubrick's careful eye and patient hand, The Shining is a pretty spotty production. King's book, which is much, much different, is more careful and intricate with detail. It's a shame Kubrick didn't employ the story exactly the way it was written; if he had, the film would be even more chilling than it already is.
