[The Vault of Horror]

Kubrick made The Shining as a Kubrick movie. Most of his movies deal with the methodical dehumanization of their characters, as well as the steady collapse of a neat and supposedly perfect setup. Those were the themes he was interested in exploring, in his own style. I personally consider Kubrick to be a much more impressive artist than King, so I'm fine with him adapting it as he saw fit. For me, Kubrick's Shining is one of the most disturbing movies ever made.
