The Shining

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2019)

The Shining is said by some to be the best horror movie ever made. I agree that it is has very good scares here and there. But the real beauty in this film is the slow and mad descent of Jack Nicholson's character. We see Jack(the name of Jack Nicholson's character) become a cold and silent man through his five month stay at the hotel. Much like the atmosphere of this movie is cold and gives the feeling of something is always watching you. Jack has a certain uneasiness that he brings to his character that must be appreciated along with his performance in general is outstanding. Truly The Shining is a classic horror film that I would recommend for anyone as it is a deep character study with a lot of very interesting themes and emotions.
