One of the most essential horror/thriller movies the last 50 years.

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2011)

Rarely have a movie made such an impact on me. You can watch "The Shining" a hundred times and be equally as thrilled a hundred times. The clever cinematography and directing by Stanley Kubrick is hard to pass by, he really made me sit on the edge of the couch asking thousands of questions as soon as the credits went by, and if you're good at putting things together you might notice that this movie's imagery symbols something completely different than it appears.. The scariest thing however is the amazing soundtrack, largely dominated by the master of atonality; Krzysztof Penderecki, and really confirms the psychological tension and disturbing imagery throughout the film. A movie everyone should see, horror fan or not.
