The story of a family quietly going insane together.

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2019)

Stanley Kubrick is incredible, I'm just going to say that now. He turns a simple premise of a family going away for the holidays into an incredibly complex horror. The thing that differences the Shining from other horror movies though is the way it becomes a horror, and the way that it really scares you in ways that no other movie does. The dialogue, the setting, the pace of it all. This is the story of a family, quietly going insane together.
