Review of Room 237 (2012) by Erik C — 19 Sep 2014

For a while I was interested in checking out Room 237, the documentary behind The Shining's enigmatic and cryptic nature. Unfortunately I felt disappointed, underwhelmed and annoyed throughout most of it.

The idea behind this documentary is intriguing, but the execution is lacking thanks to poor editing and a few theories presented in a pretentious manner. Yes interesting and thought provoking theories are present, but are nonetheless outnumbered by ones that range from feeling irrelevant, too drawn out, or simply uninteresting.
