The Shining

The Shining doesn’t scare you, it watches you, waits, and dismantles your mind piece by piece. It’s like being trapped somewhere where time doesn’t exist and sanity evaporates with the heat. Kubrick shoots horror like it’s mathematics, and Jack Nicholson proves the scariest thing is watching someone slowly break. I absolutely love the cinematography of this film, every frame feels like the definition of perfection. I was so immersed I could feel the slow agony of living in that hotel.
