The Shining Final Maze Scene -- Danny escapes from Jack

Some folks find this flick to be scary. It's not scary to me, but it is an unpleasant movie.

The following scene came to mind this morning. When a movie is being made, the idea is to make it believable. If it isn't believable, the movie isn't as good. Well, this scene just isn't believable to me.

To recap the scene briefly, the little boy's dad has gone insane. He's attempting to murder his family. The madman chases his son into the maze, but the little boy escapes. Frankly, I don't buy the scene. The kid isn't going to outwit his father.

I've seen the Steven King's version of this movie. Neither of them are very good in my opinion. Kubrick's magic didn't work in this flick.
