Dont get me wrong, the flick was ok, but the book was one of his best I think. I remember reading it when I was 14 before going to bed and it scared me shitless. lol
are you serious?
in the book he used a mallet, in the movie he used an ax
you think a mallet is scarier than an ax?
i honestly think people just think it's cool or more sophisticated to say "the book was better"
besides they made a made for tv movie that was almost identical to the book and it wasn't close to kubrick's version
my favorite horror movie is Kubrick's "the shining"
