I personally thought Shelley Duvall was at least as good as Nicholson in The Shining if not better. At the very least, I doubt I'd react any differently.

That also makes me want to ask who else here has seen the 2000 horror movie What Lies Beneath. Some endorse it as a more faithful adaptation of The Shining than the Kubrick movie for reasons like Michelle Pfeiffer resembling the book's description of Wendy better and Harrison Ford having been considered to play Jack in the Kubrick movie. I personally thought it didn't work because the first act or so was pointless, but the two leads' performances and Zemeckis's direction helped save face somewhat. I saw the movie because I was bored, it's on Disney+ where I live (20th Century Fox was the international distributor), and Harrison Ford is my favorite actor. I will also admit I enjoyed admiring his abs.
