Review of The Shining (1980) by Mbeckford — 26 Nov 2020
"Darling, I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm just gonna bash your brains in.".
"The Shining" is a great example of how musical score and cinematography can elevate a movie to the best-of-the-best. I tend to agree with Stephen King that Jack Nicholson looked like a crazy loon from the beginning, making his decent into madness less dramatic. But that can be forgiven by all the iconic scenes masterfully weaved into a horror classic.
