Classic in the truest since of the word.

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2014)

OK, first of all, The shining is one of the most atmospheric films ever to go to print. The haunted hotel, the creepy twins, the seemingly demon possessed boy who scribbles "redrum" in lipstick, the downward spiraling father who writes a full novel with one simple line, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." This movie gives you a deep since of cold isolation. Of being all alone with no one to help you. The scene where Jack chops through the bathroom door and peers through saying "Here's Johnny!" resonates with me still today. The climax has Jack chasing his family through a frozen maze with an ax in hand. As the mother and son gets whisked away to safety, the final scene of Jack frozen to death in the snow just leaves you feeling like you need a shower. This movie gets 10 stars from me. If you enjoy movies that will potentially give you nightmares, then surely check this one out.
