A guy I work with told me " The Shining " is the most over rated horror movie of all time ?
Would you agree with that? It's not the best I've ever watched but a decent horror

Maybe. It's an unconventional horror movie that borders on flat-out weird sometimes, but when you consider the pure constant tension and painfully slow descent in to madness, I think it stands up as a lasting entry in the horror field.
It does borrow a lot of elements from other horror movies of that era, so it's not quite unique enough to stand a head above anyone else, but the stress and powerlessness of being in that situation I think is captured excellently. The directing alone is worthy of being highly rated
