The Shining

Just Saw This On The Big Screen For The First Time Now I’ve never seen the TV movie nor have I picked up to read the book, but by all accounts this is the definitive version, and can we blame people for thinking that, I fucking love Kubrick and I think this is his Magnum Opus, from the haunting and trippy visuals as is his trademark, to the metaphors, foreshadowing and every single attention to detail, and of course the haunting acting by every single person in this film, I mean Danny Lloyd was 8 here, and his performance especially the Redrum Scene is haunting, there’s so many iconic moments in this movie that it’s hard to single one out as my favourite, and it’s hard to talk about without spoiling, but please watch this one if you haven’t, it’s a classic for a reason, it’s so widely adored for a reason, and it’s the first Horror I watched that made me realise movies can be scary without showing you a whole lot
