I think the mini-series is at least as guilty of this if not more, to the point of putting evil Jack in actual (and cheap looking) monster make-up. Jack's over the top spouting out of cheesy lines in the last part while chasing Danny, or stuff like the silly CG visual of a firehose with teeth, are much more in line with a Freddy movie than anything in the Kubrick film. And I just don't feel sympathy for Jack or Danny because of their poor acting. A little more for Wendy, but she's given too much dumb things to do, like delivering long, unconvincing monologues telling the ghosts they're just spooks.
