The Shining / 1980/ USA/ Dir: Stanley Kubrick/ 146 minutes
This year’s retro addition to the festival is one you must see on the big screen—the 45thanniversary screening of THE SHINING. You know the plot: a family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter, where a sinister presence influences the father into violence. At the same time, his psychic son sees horrifying forebodings from both the past and the future.
And after 45 years—the film still impresses audiences around the world. What makes this filmso scary is the dread and vagueness that it feeds on to propel the plot forward. The foreboding that aches in every corner of this film is the very reason so many people, for decades have hailed THE SHINING as one of the scariest films of all time.
