There are some chilling scenes in this movie but overall it's one of the most wildly overrated films of all time.

I hear that King didn't like it.

There was a later remake for television.

Kubrick had more to say with other films.

I was thinking of posting this. Anyway it can't be all that overrated since there is so much contention about its value. It's a one of a kind film that no one has been able to duplicate without sliding into parody. To make a horror film so overlit was a stroke of genius. You can see everything...but really nothing at all.
