I really like the Kubrick version. Granted, I havent seen the other one--but this one is just fine by my book. I love strange movies, and Kubrick is one of my favorite directors. Its all about the small things--how many of yall noticed the bloody handprint on the dress of the woman that caused the waiter to spill the drinks, setting off the madness? Or that the sound playing in the car as they drive up to the hotel talking about the Donner party is the sound of the kid rolling across the carpet on his tricycle? Its a very surreal movie, which I like a lot. I realize it isnt very true to the book, but thats OK.
