Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The movie is not about ghosts but about madness and the energies it sets loose in an isolated situation primed to magnify them.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
8 May 2007
rotten:
Kubrick is after a cool, sunlit vision of hell, born in the bosom of the nuclear family, but his imagery -- with its compulsive symmetry and brightness -- is too banal to sustain interest, while the incredibly slack narrative line forestalls suspense.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
8 May 2007
fresh:
As a ghost story and adaptation of the Stephen King novel, it's largely a failure. On the other hand, as an example of directorial bravura and as a study of madness and the unreliable narrator, it's a brilliant success.
– James Berardinelli,

fresh:
Kubrick has made a movie that will have to be reckoned with on the highest level.
– Richard Schickel,
TIME Magazine,

A masterpiece.
