This week's video essay and film analysis is a closer look into Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. We examine the five elements that Stanley Kubrick and all of his collaborators use. In particular we focus on his writing with co-writer Diane Johnson. The music composed by Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind. The cinematography by John Alcott and the editing by Ray Lovejoy. We look at how all of these elements come together to form the best horror film of all time.

First? Also yes the shining is so goddamn good
Any plans to do Mother!?
Yes!
You can skip the word “Horror” in the title.
Timehacker yikes
Amen brother
It’s definitely up there, I’d probably put it in the top 15-20.
What’s your number one?
And your videos are the reason why I don’t sleep late on Saturday.
Thank you! You’re too kind!
I have a few suggestions (you don’t have to do them):
Soylent Green
Big Eyes
Zootopia
The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Rushmore
The Darjeeling Limited
Moonrise Kingdom
The Royal Tenenbaums
Isle of Dogs (when it comes out)
St. Vincent
Sausage Party
Fantastic Planet
Also, I’m dressing up as V for Halloween.
Just watched this for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Definitely one of my favourites, and loved the ambiguity of it.
It’s one of those movies I love to watch a few times every year!
One of my favorite film YT channels made a video on the film that got me into film? Today’s a good day.
Thank you!
completely agree best horror movie ever made
In my opinion, the best horror film, aswell. Great video. Love this channel.
Thank you! I’m glad you’ve been enjoying!
I would have to agree it is the best horror film. It may not be my favorite horror film even though I love it (Dawn of the dead is), but out of all the horror movies I’ve seen on my first viewing, The Shining scared me the most.
When this movie tried to scare me. I corrected it and when it came out on DVD. I corrected that too. Also when it came out on DD I corrected that as well.
I prefer Night Of The Hunter (1955)
All work and no play, eh Jack? (Lol)
I put a lot of time into this video-it made me a dull boy!
Ahahahah!!!
The Exorcists as well
The secret of making a scary movie has been calculated by university experts. Scientists have worked out an equation to prove why thrillers like Psycho and the Blair Witch Project are so successful at terrifying audiences.

Great video this week please do Hell or High Water. Really underrated from what I hear. Can’t wait till next upload though! Keep up the good work!
I always notice a pallet of colors here in the film and their meanings etc
I see it as a tale of overcoming domestic abuse
The most unscary scary movie ever.
You should have mentioned how Steven King hated the film..also a little more into how the spirits coaxed Jack into madness..but great video!
