Spooky and fun psychological horror

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2020)

I watched this with several people in the room and my best friend spoiling everything before it happened so it maybe didn't have the same effect on me as seeing it in theaters in a sound-sensitive, dark room. However, it is a lot of fun to watch and go "oooOOOOoooo that's spooky" when all the stuff goes down. I like the building of tension and the music, and I definitely love how cryptic all of it is. The movie doesn't explain a damn thing besides shining and I love it. Why is the bartender dude there when he goes to the gold room? What's with the n-word drop? When will the nightmares of moldy old women in my bathtub end? I just really like how unpredictable and wild it is. I also like that danny and the wife survive. It's eerie, it's colorful, it's moody, it's creepy, and I really like it.
