Most spectacular camera work ever

Rating: 8/10 (17 September 2009)

This is one of the masterpieces of one of the greatest directors. Based on Stephen king's novel of the same name it tells the story of the family of the caretaker of overlook hotel. The Overlook hotel, built on an Indian burial ground during its ling history has seen a lot and has a lot to tell. The hotel is closed during winter . Now Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) and his family must fight loneliness and its effects in this huge hotel . The story is not told through narration or dialogues but progresses through moving camera . The camera moves across the long corridors of the hotel revealing step by step what gruesome history lies buried in those empty rooms of the hotel . The eerie music just carries along this effect with it. Time slowly drives jack Torrance crazy and his psychotic son starts having visions. The sets are amazing and needless to say HUGE . One of the most technically sound movie of all times
