Stephen King didn't like Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of "The Shining" because he felt that the film didn't capture the emotional depth and psychological complexity of his novel. Additionally, King disapproved of Kubrick's portrayal of the character Jack Torrance, feeling that the film version lacked the depth and internal struggle that he had intended for the character in the book.
