Things can't take in large doses: The Shining.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Here's why King didn't like the movie:

"The book is hot, and the movie is cold; the book ends in fire, and the movie in ice. In the book, there's an actual arc where you see this guy, Jack Torrance, trying to be good, and little by little he moves over to this place where he's crazy. And as far as I was concerned, when I saw the movie, Jack was crazy from the first scene. I had to keep my mouth shut at the time. It was a screening, and Nicholson was there. But I'm thinking to myself the minute he's on the screen, 'Oh, I know this guy. I've seen him in five motorcycle movies, where Jack Nicholson played the same part.' And it's so misogynistic. I mean, Wendy Torrance is just presented as this sort of screaming dishrag. But that's just me, that's the way I am."

I agree. The book is so much better. You see Jack gradually come unglued, and the spooky parts are much spookier. It's also been made into an opera, which has received excellent reviews. http://www.npr.org/sections/deceptivecadence/2016/05/12/476635903/the-shining-is-now-an-opera http://www.startribune.com/shining-opera-premiere-is-scary-good/378585276/
