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

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
