Shining

The most famous horror film is said to burn the most calories for its tormented viewers. Everyone knows room 237 and the empty, geometric-carpeted hallways of the Overlook Hotel. Its brilliant direction, chilling music, and the unforgettable performance of Jack Nicholson bring to life a groundbreaking piece of cinema. Stanley Kubrick reinvents the horror genre with a disorienting narrative, an oppressively labyrinthine setting, and the pioneering use of the Steadicam, which enhances our sense of disorientation in this terrifying maze.
