5.0 out of 5 stars
A MUST-HAVE EDITION !,
This review is from: The Shining (Audio Cassette)
There's little original praise that could be heaped upon this iconic work by Stephen King. "The Shining" firmly established King as the literary master of contemporary horror, and has sold gazillion copies in both paperback and hardcover. The film by Stanley Kubrick starring a possessed Jack Nicholson added another dimension to the terrifying story of the Torrance family, the very troubled father who is hired as winter caretaker for the Overlook Hotel, his patient wife, and remarkably gifted son.
One more star in the crown of "The Shining" appears with an unparalleled reading by actor/director/producer Campbell Scott. Son of two acclaimed actors, George C. Scott and Colleen Dewhurst, the younger Scott lost no time in making it clear that his was a unique talent. . Beginning in 1990 with "The Kennedys of Massachusetts" he has delivered praiseworthy performances in numerous films including "The Love Letter," "Hamlet," and "Roger Dodger," for which he received the best actor award from the National Board of Review. He also co-directed the highly acclaimed film "Big Night." Scott brings all of this talent to an intense, thoroughly satisfying performance of "The Shining." He never "chews the scenery" or indulges in over dramatization which a lesser actor might be tempted to do considering the theme, but Scott simply terrifies the listener with his chilling reading, making the supernatural plausible and the demonic possible. This audio edition of "The Shining" is a must-have for all King fans and horror buffs - don't miss it! - Gail Cooke |
