Cinema / Fiction · True or False?
The answer is True.
It is a psychological horror movie directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on Stephen King's 1977 novel. He hated this adaptation, calling it a "beautiful Cadillac with no engine inside it", since he felt Kubrick didn't adapt his story well. For example the fact that Jack Torrance had no development and was unhinged from the start rather than a flawed man slowly descending into madness.
