Chills, Thrills, and Blood Spills: Our Ultimate Best Horror Movies Countdown
The Shining (1980) – Stanley Kubrick’s Haunting Creation Still Terrifies
“The Shining” is a great horror film by any standard. Jack Nicholson’s descent into madness in an empty, haunted hotel, where blood gushes from elevator doors and creepy twins haunt the corridors, is enough to make it a classic.
What sets it apart is Stanley’s visionary adaptation of Stephen King’s source material, resulting in an endlessly fascinating and profound cinematic experience. Viewers leave with their theories and interpretations, and each viewing uncovers unsettling new details. The film’s enigmatic qualities have even inspired a documentary, “Room 237” (2011), dedicated to dissecting its codes, clues, and themes.
