wonderful movie

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2016)

The Shining is a fantastic movie about a family of a father, mother, and son where the father has been hired to be the caretaker of a haunted hotel in the Rocky Mountain wilderness in Colorado. The son has an ability to hear certain thoughts of people which the cook at the hotel has too and calls it shining, which is why The Shining is the movie's name. The son also has the ability to see apparitions. As the family are staying in the hotel, the dad gradually goes completely insane and tries to kill his family with an axe. This movie is very creepy and scary. The first scene is one of the legendary scenes. The camera follows a car through a mountain wilderness and very dramatic eerie music plays. There are others such as when the son comes across two ghost twin girls while riding his tricycle or something, when an elevator opens and what looks like blood pours out as if the elevator was full of blood, and when the father encounters a ghost in a room. This movie is NOT okay for children. I'd say it shouldn't be seen by anyone under 17 because of the level of violence and terror. And the nudity.
