Quotes

Martha Clarendon: [Linoge rings Mrs. Clarendon's doorbell. She comes walking down the hall very slowly] Oh, hold on. I'm getting there as fast as I can. I broke my hip last summer, and I'm still as slow as cold molassas.
[she opens the door. Linoge stands in the shadow on the porch]
Martha Clarendon: Can I help you?
Andre Linoge: Born in lust, turn to dust...
Martha Clarendon: I beg your pardon?
Andre Linoge: Born in sin, come on in...
[grabs her walker, flings it out into the yard, then kills her with his wolf cane]

User Reviews

Great King Stuff ****

All you viewers whining about the ending...get over yourself. Sometimes everyone doesn't ride off into the sunset. And sometimes, retribution is all they can expect. And, to one reviewer...the reason King re-did The Shining is because...the Kubrick version (see my review) has about as much relationship to the novel as Blazing Saddles has to the real west. This is good stuff. Very scary, well acted, directed and art directed. Great tv fx, too. Just watch it and have a good time. It doesn't have a Shirley Temple ending (thank god) but it would be terrible if it did. I always think there's a lot of jealousy when it comes to King and Spielberg. Why don't the reviewers and viewers here come right out and say, 'How dare these men be so talented and make so much money'. Then then don't have to watch any more of their films.
