@bronco3250 - "This movie" is the film adaptation of a novel, written by Stephen King, that was also entitled The Shining. It would have been a little peculiar to rename it.
-
This movie could have been called Cabin fever.

@waldomademedoit I just know kids are tempted.
-
@027220 The Shining has been rated R by the MPAA. That implies "adults only".
-
Add adults only to the title.

"The Shinning" is one of my all time favorite movies. I wish I could erase it from my memory just to watch it again, for the first time.

Prohibit this for Stanley:
Because Danny Lloyd was so young and since it was his first acting job, Stanley Kubrick was highly protective of the child. During the shooting of the movie, Lloyd was under the impression that the film he was making was a drama, not a horror movie. He only realized the truth seven years later, when, aged 13, he was shown a heavily edited version of the film. He didn't see the uncut version of the film until he was 17 - eleven years after he'd made it.

Listen all, this man directed a movie that slowly invites the viewer in to a hellish environment (the hotel) with a peaceful 'hey, isn't this a nice peaceful hotel?', not revealing that this hotel will become hell itself. The family HAS to deal with the hell that is reveling itself. IT IS A PSYCHOLOGICAL movie (not like the movie HOSTEL), he didn't need to show excessive gore to make his point. The father is the weak one who will do the evil bidding for the hotel because he is hell's bitch.
He is so missed, but at least we will have his amazing films!

what Kubrick puts in every shot as special effort, Jack Nicholson does with his acting
