Review of The Shining (1980) by Alex A — 30 Jun 2015
The Shining is a landmark psychological horror film that never loses its aura no matter how many times revisited. Boasting an unconventionally complex story for its genre, this is a rare transcending horror epic brimming with cryptic meanings still being deciphered decades later.
Nicholson's haunting lead, Kubrick's meticulous direction, the gorgeous cinematography, spooky soundtrack and set design of The Overlook Hotel combined give The Shining an irrefutable sense of isolation, dread and immersiveness.
