The Shining is a rare case of a film being far better than a the book it is based on precisely because of Kubrick’s reinterpretation of the story.

I find [this argument][1] that one of its central themes is a suppressed history of violence and bloodshed convincing.

A film masterpiece.

I couldn't disagree with that at all. I enjoy reading Stephen King books, at times, but there aren't that many of them that have become great films.

Off the top of my head the best King films have been "The Shining", "Misery", "Pet Semetry", "Stand by Me", & "The Shawshank Redemption".

So many more films have been terrible (I've not seen the recent version of "It").
