The Shining

experiencing this in imax is a whole new beast. there are sounds i’ve never heard before, pictures that swallow me whole. to danny torrance, who is smart enough to cover his tracks. to wendy torrance, whose hands shake because courage is not the absence of fear, but what you do in the face of it. to dick hallorann, who boards a plane to save a child, knowing full well he’ll die when it lands.  nothing in the world like this movie. everyone who has ever made a horror flick since this came out has wanted to make this movie, and they can’t. sometimes horror is only incidentally supernatural.
