The Shining [Extended Cut] [4K Ultra-HD] [1980] [Blu-ray] [2019]

The 4K UHD set from Warner is pretty good; the native 4K image is simply stunning, from detail to colour reproduction and black level, the filmic nature of the image cannot be understated – amazing. The DTS-HD MA 5.1 track makes to most of the sound design with an all-encompassing surround environment. The extras have all been seen before, however.

This could possibly be one of the best 4k transfers ever, stunning picture, i havent got a system good enough to review the sound but it sounds good enough for me, i would put this up there with Zulu, and the original Terminator which i rank as no 1 highly recommended, 4k disc

Great movie

A brilliant 4k transfer of Kubrick's horror masterpiece. The Overlook Hotel looks better than ever, with the Gold Room a particular standout.The score, as ever, is weird and creepy.This is the US cut of the film, for some reason Kubrick trimmed some 25 minutes off the runtime for Europe. The additional scenes don't break any ground but do add some interesting character beats.As frightening as it ever was. Highly recommended.

There are few people who would have been able to act the role of Jack Torrance as well as Jack Nicholson, who, in my humble opinion is an outstanding actor.It is rare that a film from the 1980s can be as good today as it was when it first came out, but I believe this is one of them. I bought the 4K version of this because I wanted to see this in jaw dropping colour on my 4K TV, and my old DVD wasn't really quite up to scratch.The quality of the conversion to 4K of this iconic movie was amazing, the colours were awesome and the picture clear. I was transported back to my teens when classic lines from the movie such as "Here's Johnny" and "Redrum, Redrum" were spoken.The credits were very old fashioned, plain in style, but the movie itself has, in my opinion, lost none of its suspense; it still kept me on the edge of my seat for nearly two and a half hours.If you like horror movies, Steven King stories or Jack Nicholson, then you are bound to enjoy this blast from the past, especially in its stunning 4K reproduction.

This is a pretty generic item. It includes 2 discs, one of them is a beautiful 4K transfer from the original camera negative and another is a 1080p presentation on Blu-Ray. My main problem is that it dosen't come with a slip-case as is presented in the item images. However, this won't bother most people and only slightly bugs me. This is still worth a purchase if you like the film.

Writer Jack Torrence gets a job as winter caretaker of a hotel as it shuts down for winter taking his wife and son who is psychic with him and is driven insane by the many ghosts in the haunted hotel. Stanley Kubrick's horror classic based on the book by Stephen King looking fantastic in 4K Ultra HD with a new superior extended cut with new added footage. Excellent performances from Jack Nicholson and Shelly Duvall in one of the best horror films ever made.

I bought this after being recommended it by a friend who’s big into 4k prints and restorations.The quality of this print is second to none! Beautiful sharp image with the grain we all love, bright colours and fantastic sound, this 4k print does the original justice, this is how the movie should be watched
