even though the shining be over a quarter of a century old and i challenge anyone to not get freak out by jack nicholson descent into madness . this be a rare example of something so unique that no one have be able to rip it off while instead it have be reference time and again in pop culture . the twin and the elevator of blood and redrum and the crazy nonsense writing . this should be see and if for nothing else and to understand all the allusion to it in daily life . the film be simultaneously scary and suspenseful and beautiful and and psychologically intriguing . it have the classic mystery of hitchcock and the terror of a modern thriller . and it have what horror movie usually lack represent a great script .
