The Shining....the biggest load of **** going.

I tried to watch it numerous times and fell asleep every time.

2 hours of absolute nothing. Nothing even happens

I know it's classed as 'one of the best horrors' in film history, but I have never watched it from beginning to end.

And hearing how badly Shelley Duvall was treated on set ,puts a bit of a dark cloud over it .

I recommend watch it GH, it's one of the few "horror movies" that genuinely unsettles me, even after seeing it so many times. Just something very sinister and gutwrenching about the whole film to me, makes my stomach turn. I think it's the setting mainly - and those long, empty, twisting/turning corridors and the thought of being chased there. *shudder*

Yes Stanley Kubrick was a swine to her on set, apparently it was intentional by him in order to get the best performance out of her - it worked I guess.

Can you believe the scene where Jack stalks Wendy from his desk up the staircase (before she hits him with the baseball bat) was done 127 TIMES before Kubrick was happy? Poor Shelley.

.

He abused and traumatised someone with the excuse of it being “for the art” and the rest of the cast and crew allowed it to happen.

Perhaps that’s the “get-wrenching” feeling you get from watching it.

Controversial opinion maybe but I actually preferred the sequel Dr Sleep

Kubrick made a Masterpiece.



I like the Old Black Man that feels the danger
and returns to the Frozen Hotel
trouble is he needed a gun.

I DON'T THINK Shelley Duvall was entirely acting , the clips I've seen she looks genuinely terrified and traumatised. I think her mental health was affected.

Yes Kubrick got his results but at what cost. But I know the movie has its creepy moments. I might watch it one day.
