Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that, while not widescreen, does in fact mirror the director's original intentions for the film (he reportedly shot it so that the frame could be cropped without compromising the integrity of the image). English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a making-of documentary and a theatrical trailer.

If the kids want some fright night flick, this will serve. If the kids are brainy and budding cinephiles they will want to recommend it to their grandkids - and watch it with them to be immersed in Kubrick's masterful vision.

On first viewing the film is frustrating. But it has a force that can draw one back and it is with a second and third take that it flowers. This does not make it an "art house" piece, but it does evidence why its appeal will grow in time, and perhaps endure.

If you are into the current comic through film wave, you will find this enjoyable. If you believe in the capacity of graphic novels to achieve heights when image and text synch, and that the best cinema realizations should emulate same, you'll be disappointed.
