Jack Nicholson is such a great actor he makes this movie terrifying. As you see Jack Torrance's madness grow, the audience's fear grows. Nicholson's sadistic smile as he busts in the door and utters the famous phrase "Here's Johnny." The fear culminates much like Wendy Torrance's (Shelly Duvall). She realizes that her husband has been mad for sometime when she reads his novel repeating the phrase "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Great filmmaking by Stanley Kubrick.
