THE SHINING (1980) REVIEW - 31 Nights of Frights (Episode 18) | History of Horror

[@2for114]

The Shining is the creepiest horror movie for me because of Kubrick’s awesome directing and Nicholson’s genius portrayal of a man gradually going insane. It’s so incredible how Kubrick teases us with little clues to steer us towards the shocking conclusion……and the ambiguity lingers long afterwards. Great episode, Liam!

The Shining, one of Kubricks, best. Jack Nicholson's performance was amazing. I love how we see him as this regular guy and then the Hotel slowly starts changing him until he goes full blown cuckoo for cocoa puffs!! The ending was tricky. Was he reincarnated? Is that what the picture meant and what Grady meant when he said, "You are the caretaker, you've always been the caretaker". Another great review! Keep them coming!!

[@ARealHorrorShow]

I always read the ending as he has now become part of the hotel and its history! It's always cool to hear all the different theories from everyone!

Love it. Love the behind the scenes footage that was shot also. Really shows how much of a bastard Kubrick was to Duvall

[@ARealHorrorShow]

I remember seeing that for the first time and being amazed - so glad that the footage exists! Was it Kubrick's daughter who filmed that?

[@ARealHorrorShow]

The Shining is a great film, made better for having Nicholson in it… one of those films you can watch over and over again…
