The Greatest Horror Movie of all Time

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2020)

The Shining stands out for many reasons, but one of these reasons are what make the movie something truly special. Atmosphere. This movie feels like a series of uncomfortable events one after another, slowly making you understand why all the characters are acting how they are at that time. All this tension and dread built up leads to one of the most terrifying finales to a horror film ever. The performances, Kubrick's masterful direction, the music, the sets, the cinematography, it's just all there. This movie is easily in my top 5 and I would recommend it to anyone even if you're not a fan of horror.
