Few films age like The Shining. On rewatch, the isolation, the tension, and the atmosphere feel even more powerful. Jack Nicholson gives one of the most memorable performances in horror history, and Shelley Duvall grounds the terror with genuine vulnerability. Kubrick’s control of space and sound makes the Overlook Hotel a character of its own. This movie never loses its ability to chill me. Greatest horror film ever!
