Honest Trailers is at it again, this time roasting The Shining, which is “based on a Stephen King novel that Stanly Kubrick threw in the trash.”
The video asks some hard-hitting questions about the film that stars Jack Nicholtorrance (ha!) as a family man who slowly goes mad over the course of a season. They ponder if the film is a masterclass in tension or kinda boring, while also throwing serious shade at Kubrick for his treatment of star Shelley Duvall over the course of filming. They joke about the film’s recurring shots, and suggest that it’s only scary because of the film’s brilliant score.
Being that I’m a huge The Shining fan, it’s important to note that this video is all in good fun and ridiculously funny. Check it out…
