THE SHINING (1980) - 30/12/2019

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2020)

And still, one of, if not the greatest horror movie of all time. The atmosphere of the entire movie is beautifully haunting and eerie. The performances from all characters were incredible, especially Jack Nicholson. His gradual spiral to insanity is performed perfectly. I couldn't imagine a better Jack Torrence. The movie is very slow, so don't expect a high octane horror movie. I very much enjoyed the pace and couldn't imagine a film that was any shorter than it's two and a half hour runtime. The movie leaves you with questions that will cause you to look at this movie a million different ways. I cannot recommend this movie enough.
