| Hello... |
Hello, everyone. I guess it's about time to do another review. Today I present to you a review of an undeniably great horror film. You can probably guess from the post title that it is The Shining. This is one of Stanley Kubrick's movies that I can watch more than once in a single day. It's about a writer named Jack Torrance who gets a job as caretaker of the Overlook Hotel. Him, his wife, Wendy, and his kid, Danny, are all set to spend the winter there. However, after so long, bad things begin to occur, and true horror sets in (in the form of a man dressed up as a dog/pig/bear/thing). For those of you who don't know, this is based on a book by Stephen King, who is known as the "Master of Horror". I'd also like to add "and Weird Stuff" to that title, but I suppose "Master of Horror" flows better. The fact that the whole movie takes place in a practically empty hotel helps magnify the senses of isolation and hopelessness. The whole movie is tense and surreal. All of the actors were impressive in this movie. Even the kid who played Danny wasn't an annoying pest like most child stars. This movie's greatness cannot be contained in this blog post. Therefore, a more in-depth review will be supplied here.
10/10
