Which thrillers are
your own personal favourites and why (1)?
The
Shining (1980)
The Shining is a 1980
British-American psychological
horror film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick, co-written with novelist Diane Johnson, and starring Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd, and Scatman Crothers. The film is based on Stephen King's novel of the
same name, though there are
significant changes. In the film, Jack Torrance, a writer and recovering alcoholic, takes a
job as an off-season caretaker at an isolated hotel called the Overlook Hotel.
His young son possesses psychic abilities and is able to see things from the
past and future, such as the ghosts who inhabit the hotel. Soon after settling
in, the family is trapped in the hotel by a snowstorm, and
Jack gradually becomes influenced by a supernatural presence; he descends into
madness and attempts to murder his wife and son.
I like it because it is a haunting and creepy movie. It’s a
psychological thriller and the words from the script get into my head and the
film is scary because of the script and the dialogues which captive me every
time I see the movie. I also love this movie because I think the actor Jack
Nicholson fits perfect in there, he plays his role really good and the mimic he
is doing with his faces is incredibly good and with that it look real and this
makes the movie even creepier.
