I think Kubrick did a much better movie. The other one may have been more faithful to the book, but it just wasn't scary. I'm sure the book itself is creepy, but just comparing the movies I think Kubrick did a far better job.
Anthony Burgess was upset about Kubrick's version of Clockwork Orange because Kubrick made it from the American version of the book. The British version has an extra chapter at the end that totally changes the book. An american publisher thought it was too much of a sappy feel good ending and took it out of the version Kubrick must have read.
