The Shining (1980) 2/2 (what?)

"the ghost make dad go crazy"

"the poster has his face sticking through a hole in a door."

just walking around endlessly looking at kitchens.

suspenseful music

Somehow a black man enters the hotel

Could this be the same mind that gave us Easy Rider? and Dr. Strangelove?

(i really gotta watch 2001 again cause i really didn't get it)


The little kid is weird

Why is he yelling "redrum" instead of just "murder"???? 

why it's backwards and requires a mirror

I drive to work and back (and sometimes to the store or to visit my cats) almost every day 

after so much time behind Riding Danny the last thing you were expecting to find was two murdered sisters.



Can someone please explain

This movie is about a man who likes to shout things through gaps in doors.

the poster has his face sticking through a hole in a door.


I am not convinced that Jack Torrence is a sane man


The young boy putting on that voice was really annoying and there was no need for it although the voice is probably supposed to symbolize a invisible friend

if you want to let a child see this, even if they are tough, make sure that they understand what they are watching.

Jake saw a naked "ghost" and he was so happy. that's not right, he is married.


It is weird that the movie is so different than the book

I made a little research and I found out a logical explanation to everything that happens in this film

Hotel seems a lot scarier due to the 70's interior design.
