The Best!!

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2002)

The Shining is hands down the best "scary" movie ever made. When I judge a movie, I break them down into small niche categories, and this one falls in Psychological Horror. Aliens is also a horror movie, but obviously of a entirely different sort. The Shining develops slowly, eerily, and uses all the right tools scare you. Strange music, isolation, lots of blood, and two twin girls that give me the heeby jeebys everytime I see them. The Shining ranks in my top 5 movies overall, the only horror type film up there, even in the top 10. Excellent film making, acting, and writing.
