Twisting maze in which every answer creates two more questions

Rating: 9/10 (7 November 2017)

In an age of formulaic and predictable horror movies, The Shining was a fresh breath of air. The simple plot of The Shining frees up the mind to explore the meticulous details. The vague "easter eggs" Kubrick leaves throughout the film causes the brain to conceive theories that may or may not be intentional. I found myself analyzing and questioning things such as tile patterns, the sounds of Danny's tricycle as it drove over different surfaces, etc. It led me to look for clues where there may be none, leading me down a maze of confusion. Overall, The Shining is a classic that continues to enthrall audiences with its attention to detail.
