The Shining (1980) - FULL REACTION
Added 2023-08-13 22:09:05 +0000 UTCThis film turned out to be wayyy scarier than I was expecting. It really messed me up in some parts and the slow-burn nature of it allowed me to feel totally part of the story. Thank you, I'm not sleeping tonight. Enjoy :)

You must, must, must do One Flew Over the Coocoo's Nest for a GREAT Jack Nicholson movie.

I don’t know, I think the Director’s choice to portray her as she performed added a lot to the tension. It made it easy to empathize with her as we saw her vulnerability. Your reaction was very real and made watching this Classic even more enjoyable.

Watching it again got me thinking that many modern films do not commit time and effort to atmosphere and build-up. When you do, the payoff is very rewarding for the viewer. When you don't, you tend get more of a shallow movie - what people are now calling tik-tok style (fast, bombastic and easily forgotten).
