Kubrick was a genius, simply put-- but I havent sat down and re-watched that movie in a long time.

Incredible, visually exquisite like most of the dude's work. And scary. Not "texas chainsaw" scary, like metaphysically scary.

He also made radical departures from the source work, deliberately so. I don't think there was any love lost between the two SKs (and I only now just realized, they have the same initials)

But I would put it as probably one of the top 100 American films of all time, maybe the all time best of the horror genre hands down.

It's a reference to The Shining, if you didnt catch it. Warren DeMontague May 2017 #7

It sucks. Warren DeMontague May 2017 #9

Would you mind explaining the reference? Ninsianna May 2017 #10

Not at all. Although it helps if you're familiar with "The Shining", directed by Stanley Kubrick Warren DeMontague May 2017 #11

Thank you! Ninsianna May 2017 #12
