The Perfect Horror/Thriller

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2019)

Kubrick creates tension like no other in his classic masterpiece. Some might criticize it for being "too slow" or "boring". In reality Kubrick uses pacing, and this dedication to the build-up in order to create one of the most memorable third acts of any horror film ever made. Couple this with magnificent performances by Jack Nicholson, Shelly Duvall, and the unsettling child Danny Lloyd, this movie is one for the ages.
