I am a big fan of the novel, but I hated that Shining TV movie. It looked so cheap and badly made, like a daytime soap. I would love to see a remake of the Shining that follows the book more closely, but surely they can make one that looks better than that crap! At least the Kubrick film, for all its faults, had the novel's fear. I like Stephen King's books but I don't understanmd why he always makes cheap TV Movies of them, because they never turn out that good!
