5.0 out of 5 stars Kubrick's superior shorter cut
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2022
Verified Purchase
I absolutely LOVE Kubrick and The Shining, but even I can admit that the U.S. theatrical cut is too long and has scenes that are utterly pointless and do nothing but drag out the run-time. Many of those scenes are cut from this version of the film, and ANY Kubrick fan owes it to themselves to watch this European Cut, since both Kubrick and his editor considered it the superior version, and decide for themself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kubrick's European cut of The Shining
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2021
Verified Purchase
Several months after The Shining opened in the United States in 1980, Kubrick shortened the film by almost a half hour for its release in Europe. Kubrick came to prefer this shorter version. It is fascinating to compare the two versions. Both of them work well in different ways. The longer version of The Shining has been released in 4K UHD, and the shorter version needs to be released in the same format or in an edition offering both versions.

Classic. Had to update the collection and replaced our standard DVD with this BluRay Version. Makes watching these older films much more enjoyable with video quality that doesn’t make you wish your tv was SMALLER because the resolution is so archaic, lol.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY! Not the complete movie.
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2017
Verified Purchase
This is a review of the Blu-ray edition of The Shining. DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION. This is not an accurate copy of The Shining. I have seen this movie multiple times over the years and knew after the first 15 minutes of watching that things were not right, scenes were missing. What stood out the most was the scene towards the beginning when Danny glimpses the Overlook Hotel in a vision, faints, and the doctor makes a house call. The audience learns some vitally important facts about the Torrance family: Jack dislocated Danny's arm because he had a drinking problem (and a very bad temper), Wendy is disturbed by it but stood by him, and this is when Tony appears to Danny. This background information helps us get to know each character's strengths/weaknesses, and informs their future actions. Why leave this out?! There are several other scenes and bits of dialogue cut out from the first few chapters, but the doctor scene is the most egregious.
Disgusted with this chopped up version, I turned it off after 20 minutes and rented it On Demand so my BF could watch the original, complete version of the movie.
I wish Amazon made it abundantly clear that this is NOT the American version of the movie. Is it some weird edited version for the European audiences? I don't know and I don't care. This is absolutely unacceptable and I wonder how many people have bought and watched this without knowing they're watching an incomplete version of this horror classic.
It's too late to complain to Amazon (I bought a year ago and let it sit in the box until now), or I would demand my money back. It if weren't for the extras I'd throw it away.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is a shortened version, and not in original aspect ratio
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2019
Verified Purchase
This is one of my favorite horror films. The quality of the Blu ray was also excellent, but this was not the original release format of the film. There is about 25 minutes cut out, by Stanley Kubrick himself (as unlikely as that might seem), that was prepared for its re-release and a release in Europe (if I've understood correctly). I noticed right away missing scenes (the doctor talking with Danny and the subsequent talk between this doctor and Wendy in which Wendy reveals Jack's drinking) and other shortened conversational scenes. Also, like most Blu Ray, they have made it "widescreen", where I am fond of the original negative aspect ratio of 1.37:1.

In my personal experience, the shortened version with the closer-up aspect diminishes the ethereal feel to the film, which I feel is one of its strengths.

As I wrote, however, the quality is otherwise excellent, and there is a wide range of subtitles and dubs in other languages. This version does not, however, have the alternative filmed takes of the scene in which Wendy reads through the pile of Jack's book "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" in German, Italian, or French.
