LMFAOOOOO I was DYING throughout the entire reaction 😂😂😂😂 The boys can be so predictable at times with their terrible takes it's pure comedy. I will always appreciate them for being honest though not for nothing.
It’s Rob he normally tries to go against the grain to ruffle feathers it’s lowkey annoying sometimes because you can tell he’s doing it on purpose just to have the unpopular opinion.
Why does Jerry just randomly scream now? No wonder so much context and stuff is missed when you have Jerry randomly screaming, and Rob staring at his phone. Please just have Pat, Evan, and Wellz only watch the scary movies cause Rob and Jerry are insufferable during the reactions. They can suspend disbelief for anime where people have powers and have fantastical elements. But can’t do it for a horror movie. 😂
Dick was their savior. He brought their getaway vehicle and stopped Jack from killing Wendy. Also, the pillar was more than big enough. It's a movie that requires thought and intelligence to fully appreciate.
Storytelling was different back in the day. Especially in horror because they were often character studies to make the audience care about them more. Then it's personal for the viewer.
Was better. Horror movies for example in today's day and age rely too much on shock value and cheap scares. A psychological impact is much scarier, which is why in older movies you see more of that
@@FlyingGunman00 This. It's why even though most horror movies from the old days don't hold up all that well now due to obvious technology and film technique advancements within the film industry there's still quite a few that can give modern horror movies a run for their money. The original Texas Chain Saw Massacre came out in 1974...it's *still* a top tier horror movie even today.
@@monadreher2428 Texas Chainsaw is a great one! Other great ones that you didn't mention in your other comment like Alien and The Fly for example are other examples of older movies that prioritize mood, atmosphere and storytelling while having incredibly well-holding-up special effects which noticeably have more effort put into them than just slapping some CGI on top. So for me you get the best of both worlds - the storytelling and the creativity
@@FlyingGunman00 Yes all of this! Especially the part about how much more effort had to go into making these movies compared to now for obvious reasons. Love it. Heavily agreed on Alien and The Fly. The Fly in particular imo is quite underrated within the horror hall, I don't think it gets talked about enough. The original Psycho (a 1960 film) legit knocks 90% of modern horror movies out of the way. With ease mind you.
@@monadreher2428 Yup. It's just all so samey, the aesthetics, the creatures, the cinematography, the atmosphere. Mass produced boring horror. Generally a lot of movies coming out today wind up imitating yesterday's classics. The Substance which recently came out for example borrows from Cronenberg heavily... Joker from Taxi Driver and so on... but at least with these slight copycats they try to do something different from everything else... not another Marvel or the 7th sequel of a boring action movie or an unnecessary reboot or remake
You do realize, that this CLASSIC is what most other horror films and their directors worship? RIGHT? RIGHT? This film, its story, the cinematography set the bar HIGH
If yall don’t put some respect on Dick Halloran’s name omg 😂 did he show up and get rolled? Did he sell? Yes, but saying he didn’t do anything to save them is crazy. Him bringing the snowcat up to the hotel was the only reason Wendy and Danny got away, if it wasn’t for that the whole family was steak and eggs. And if you watch the sequel: doctor sleep, you see that Danny and Wendy got to live the rest of their lives because of Dick and beyond that, even mentors Danny from beyond the grave with his shining ability. Don’t ever disrespect the undisputed GOAT
Just because it’s a classic doesn’t mean it’s good or everybody will like it what about that do you not understand ? Art is subjective the own fucking Arthur doesn’t like the movie get over yourselves please it’s embarrassing at this point to be mad at other people’s opinions saying something is a classic doesn’t make it good.

I lowkey agree with them, the movie didn't age well at all, i watched it for the first time 2 years ago and while watching it I immediately knew I'd never watch it again😂😂
Yeah...absolutely *huge* fan of Scream and love the entire franchise. The Shining eats Scream for Breakfast, lunch and dinner with no crumbs left. Just don't take their opinions serious and laugh 😂 Apparently Tremors is the best horror film they've seen on their channel so far LMAOOOO
The actual book by Stephen King has so much more context and detail than the Stanley Kubrick film, and is much scarier in my opinion (and this is my favorite film of ALL TIME). King famously hated the film also, but still wrote Dr. Sleep as a direct sequel. The movie Dr. Sleep does a fantastic job marrying the book and film versions of the Shining.
could not watch this with out leaving a comment in praise of the wonderful shelly duval (RIP). the director of this movie pushed her to her absolute mental and physical limit, causing her to experience many different forms of illness throughout and after the making of this film. the scene where she’s frantically waving the knife at possessed jack was filmed a horrific 127 times before the final, perfect scene was made: a result of her very much real delirium, fear, exhaustion, and trepidation while filming it. She played this role so well, but at what cost. :( RIP Shelly!!!
Most horror movies are scary because of the threat of violence that is present throughout. The Shining is scary because it has the PROMISE of violence throughout.
I’m convinced he does it on purpose and I don’t get why it’s okay to admit you like something others like lol because no way he believes Jack didn’t do an outstanding job.
There have been few channels that dislike this movie but I.. "CORRECTED" them.. and when anyone tried to prevent me from doing my duty I.."CORRECTED" them as well.😃
It's definitely not for everyone and that's okay. We all have our opinions no matter how wrong they may be at times 😂 What people *cannot* say however is that the film isn't iconic because that would just be false. It has a whole legacy not just within the horror medium but pop culture overall.
The actress Shelley Duvall had a mental breakdown because of her treatment on this set. Kubrick wanted her panic and exhaustion to be real, so he tormented and belittled her until she was the emotional wreck we see on the screen. She never recovered.
I like the divergent views and disagreements on this one. That's part of what makes this channel great! Who is the dude with the Scorpion sweatshirt? Somebody tell me if they can. He was on point with just a couple sentences! Kubrick made a movie on madness filled with intentionally vague sensory imagery for us to read between the lines. He just said it all . boom!
Dick (the chef’s) purpose ended up being; saving Wendy’s life & providing the getaway. Without Dick, Wendy dies and/or there’s no vehicle to escape nor any way to contact anyone. There was another scene at the end where Danny and Wendy are in a hospital, and Mr. Ullman (the man who hired Jack) visits Wendy and Danny at a hospital. Ullman says there’s no evidence of Jack or Dick’s body, and the hotel is completely intact. He then hands that tennis ball to Danny… end credits. The scene apparently aired one week in theaters, and Kubrick removed it and had all it all completely destroyed never to be seen. A few pics of the scene are out there, but evidently no video exists.
Lol, damn. I guess it's not for everyone. I still think it's one of the best psychological horror films of all time in my opinion. More disturbing horror that sticks with you for a long time than jump scare type of horror if that makes sense. Wish the parodies didn't have to ruin it for people watching it for the first time. It's all good though. Thanks! 👍
I love you guys but goddamn that was some of if not the dumbest shit I’ve maybe ever heard in a reaction. Really bums me the fuck out…. 💔😔 but don’t worry I’m sure they’ll be another Scream movie copy and pasted again any day now. lol
7:53 it was the 80's, as kids we could roam around lots of spaces and not see our parents for a long time. We did it outside and inside - I'm talking hours. I honestly believe w less technology, ppl used more intuition(using real human intelligence) - like you could feel if something was wrong and most of the time nothing was. ☺, that's why Gen x and millennials and everyone before are the way they are - we were like little adults trapped in kids bodies. Love to watch ppl react to this movie; all the empty scenes help you figure out Jack's place in the movie, no bombs, no explosions, just you and the movie, thinking, critically and not sensationally. Every single thing is important, from land scape to setting to furniture to wardrobe. This came on tv all the time back in the day, I think I saw it multiple times by the time I was Danny's age. For these movies, you gotta talk less, listen more, you guys kind of talked over some important parts and I feel you're trying to play tough in front of each other and for the camera. Btw Mr Halloran(the black guy) was their angel and a martyr, he died like martyrs do - that was easy to figure out imo at least I did as a small child. There is a reason why movies like Scream mention all the older movies, they simply could not exist w out them. That is why you guys get nothing, but sequels remakes and throwbacks for entertainment nowadays; you simply can't top these greats. Thanks though guys, I'll definitely check out all your other old school movies reactions. Lol, how can they make it seem like a "sixth sense thing" if that movie came out in 1999, lol come on. Also, horror movies rarely if ever never got nominations at the Oscars.
I see what yall are saying bout this movie an I think being so old it has its drawbacks but I still think it’s a classic, now Dr. Sleep !! Is incredible. I hope you guys are watching that next 🙏🏼🙏🏼
1. Joe Turkel/Lloyd plays Tyrell in "Bladerunner" 2. "Here's Johnny" was adlib by Nickelson. 3. It took over 65 takes for Jack to chop through the doors. He used his voluntary firefighting skills to get through all the takes. They had to keep building doors. 4. The reason King didn't like this adaptation of the movie is because he didn't like the changes Kubrick made. This thing was remade just for King and although the remake was more in line with the book IMVHO it wasn't as good at this one. 5. Two of the changes he didn't like were Jack's decent into madness was too rapid, and Wendy wasn't such a patsy in the book. 6. Shelley Duval 😇said making this film was the worst thing she ever experienced in her life. She said she would never do it again. 7. Jack Nicholson and Scatman worked together in "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest". 8. The real villain here is the hotel itself. 9. Watch Dr. Sleep. Danny is an adult and many of the loose ends will be cleared up.
So the ability to shine here in the book is sort of connected to the kids in it. They have power to send out to one another. They send it out to Mike not in this current version, but in the books they send power out to him to give him strength.
I´m brazilian. I dont if N word was a big thing like today when the movie was made, but, it makes so much sense the original killer saying it and being racist since he was probably born in slave era. Such a cool detail.
I understand, guys....When I first watched it (back in the day),I didn't like it . The movie wasn't popular when it came out, either. It's they type of movie that you have to watch a couple of times to appreciate it.
I feel like The Shining is more of a thriller. I like the movie for the eerie tone it sets and it just let's you wallow in it until the climax. I can see why if you just want high energy plot point after high energy plot point that it could be boring, but I enjoy the movie for what it is.
They explain most of the things that are missing in the Stephen King "The Shining" book. If they would have explained everything this movie would have been hours long.
I hope y'all watch the sequel, Dr. Sleep. More kills, less fluff, more context to the Stephen King books. You might like it more! Also it stars Obi Wan himself as adult Danny!!!!
Stephen king hated the movie too. Jack Nicholson was training to be a firefighter they couldn't use a proper door cause he was nasty with the axe. shelly Duvall was really screaming when he was chopping through the door. Stanley Kubrick stressed her out to her breaking point. at one point jack Nicholson had to tell Kubrick to chill. what makes a movie scary? to me, being isolated up in the snowy mountains with this man who you have to watch going completely insane is scary as shi! the movie leaves a lot to be interpreted. was the hotel haunted? was Jack crazy? was he just a violent drunk? I LOVE this movie! I'll watch it any time, any place! my son and I came up with this theory that Wendy and Danny were the REAL villains! they purposely set out to drive jack insane!😁seriously, there's a load of theories surrounding the deeper underlying message in this movie. Some of them are pretty interesting. if you guys never saw Carrie(the 1976 one, not that new garbage!) that would be a good one!
These guys saying that this movie which is considered 1 of the great classics of all time is not all that good Just crack me up. Dick's Dick's character had no point ,, Well The mom and the boy could not have escaped if he had not brought the snow cab up. Not to mention that it was Tony Who saved Danny, But only after dick How to The shining.
I was 5 when this came out and I was the youngest of 4, so my siblings watched this movie whenever it came out on HBO and it still scares the shit out of me. The blood coming out of the elevator gets me every time. I have never been able to even consider reading the book because I know what it will do to me 😂
This movie actually drove Shelley Duvall nuts. Kubrick is a great director, but he might have been a little too rough on Shelley- working her into a state of terror for the realism of the part. Maybe that was the only way. It's debatable, like everything. It was too much for the poor girl. I'm speculating, as all of us are with this movie, but I think everything was a manifestation or illusion created by the Indian spirits in the hotel, combined with Jack's memories of his past life there. The hotel's spirits began to inhabit Jack. In the gold ballroom party scene, Jack continued having flashes of his past life, there in 1921. He'd always been the caretaker there. He couldn't see his reflection in the restroom, or see Grady's, because he was both a part of the manifestation as well as a witness to it. Delbert Grady was a projection from Jack's memory of his past life there. Having been the caretaker there in 1921, it was like returning home. Delbert Grady was there as a waiter in 1921, and Charles as the possessed caretaker that killed his wife and kids much later in 1970. Delbert claimed he did the evil deed, but there was a link between the Grady's, I think. It might have been Charles coming through Delbert when he said that.Jack wasn't afraid of ghosts, other than the part of him that was still somewhat himself, as he sure freaked out when he saw that spirit
The $19 million dollar budget for this movie would be considered a $75 million dollar budget in 2024. Speaking on your discussion about this film, it sounds like you're judging this one far more on the entertainment and rewatch-ability value, as opposed to an art and deep thought value. Movies like Scream, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday The 13th, and Halloween have a more entertainment value through their fast-pace and surface level satisfactory. They're meant to give you something straight away and be a fun ride, at the cost of building deep characters and deep stories. But for movies like The Shining, The Exorcist, and even the recent Dune moves are meant to be slow and atmosphere building. It requires long attention span and patience, so that character establishment and development are allowed to be more organic. You're supposed to allow yourself to be taken in by what is going on.
Please react to Doctor Sleep the sequel to The Shining it has Ewan McGregor aka Obi Wan Kenobi playing the kid grown up it's really really good as well. I think it's on HBO Max
Also wanna say when this movie first came out it wasn’t well received and it wasn’t just Stephan king that didn’t like it, it lowkey had to gain its following and eventually it became one of those classic movies you have to watch so y’all being so mad at them when the older generation didn’t like this film at first. 🤷🏾♀️
If it's any consulation guys this film is a bastardization of the novel. The only thing this has in common with the source material is that it takes place in a hotel, nothing more and nothing less. If plot elements don't make sense that's because Kubrick had an entirely different vision from which imo he should've just made an entirely original work instead of completely overriding and changing Kings original story and borrowing its namesake, which btw King was very unhappy that he did. Nickleson's acting is what carried this film and if he wasn't in it with his super crazy mannerisms idk if the film wouldn't have been this successful.
Yeah, I gotta agree with them. Jack Nicholson and Shelly Duvall did an amazing job, but this movie was not good. I see why Stephen King hated this adaptation of his book because it really didn't make a lot of sense tbh. Granted, I'm into psychological thrillers, but this was way too vague. I'd rather read the book.
Okay the main thing I can’t agree with is Rob about Jack performance(he says stuff like that on purpose just to go against the grain) that’s just a flat out lie he was outstanding BUT y’all are so mad at them for not liking it just because it’s a “classic” but THE FUCKING ARTHOR HATES THIS MOVIE! Stephan King himself HATES this wonderful classic y’all are crying over so now what ? 😂 the book was better if we are being real the movie itself isn’t the scariest movie ever but it was good because it was based off the novel let’s remember that kids! Art is subjective just because some find it scary doesn’t mean everybody will and just because it’s considered a classic doesn’t automatically make it good let’s get over ourselves.
people seem to be real upset that they didn't care for the film simply because its considered a horror classic, but the fact of the matter is that this film was critically panned when it was released. reviews were mixed at best and Stephen King fans hated the changes made to the story. it became acclaimed over the course of decades and gained notoriety from constant being constantly parodied in pop culture. i love the film and it's undeniably iconic but the way people in the comments are insisting it's a generational issue causing the guys to not appreciate it is just flat out wrong lol. horror is just a divisive genre.
It didn't gain notoriety for being parody. It gained praise after the fact when people starting appreciating Kubrick's cinematography and set design in this film.
@Nomad7222 there's a reason all four of them recognized moments like the bike tracking shot or the shot of the twins despite never having watched the film, and it's because the shining has been parodied and referenced in pop culture for decades. but you're not wrong, the reason it gets referenced so much is because of how iconic the film is.
You guys really need to stick to anime and all that stuff you watch with bright shiny lights. These types of movies ain't for you. I know that film is subjective but your takes are just so whack.
Yeah, I've never gotten the hype around this movie. Yes, it's a classic that everyone should see, but it's not that great🤷♀️Nicholson is the movie for me. The sequel that Flanigan did, Doctor Sleep, is amazing! The attention to detail in that movie is fantastic and is way more eventful than this one.
Doctor Sleep was a surprisingly *great* sequel. Definitely not better than The Shining though. To each their own at the end of the day but personally The Shining scared me more when I first watched it. Both are great films though imo
@FervAnimalLover Flanagan is killing it tf you mean??? Midnight Mass, Haunting of Hill House, Haunting of Bly Manor and Fall of the House of Usher were all phenomenal
@@bluegypsy71 you're really calling this the blueprint for classic horror movies!!??? 😂 my point exactly. THE MOST OVERRATED "classic" film of all time

I love you guys but goddamn that was some of if not the dumbest shit I’ve maybe ever heard in a reaction. Really bums me the fuck out…. 💔😔 but don’t worry I’m sure they’ll be another Scream movie copy and pasted again any day now. lol
7:53 it was the 80's, as kids we could roam around lots of spaces and not see our parents for a long time. We did it outside and inside - I'm talking hours. I honestly believe w less technology, ppl used more intuition(using real human intelligence) - like you could feel if something was wrong and most of the time nothing was. ☺, that's why Gen x and millennials and everyone before are the way they are - we were like little adults trapped in kids bodies. Love to watch ppl react to this movie; all the empty scenes help you figure out Jack's place in the movie, no bombs, no explosions, just you and the movie, thinking, critically and not sensationally. Every single thing is important, from land scape to setting to furniture to wardrobe. This came on tv all the time back in the day, I think I saw it multiple times by the time I was Danny's age. For these movies, you gotta talk less, listen more, you guys kind of talked over some important parts and I feel you're trying to play tough in front of each other and for the camera. Btw Mr Halloran(the black guy) was their angel and a martyr, he died like martyrs do - that was easy to figure out imo at least I did as a small child. There is a reason why movies like Scream mention all the older movies, they simply could not exist w out them. That is why you guys get nothing, but sequels remakes and throwbacks for entertainment nowadays; you simply can't top these greats. Thanks though guys, I'll definitely check out all your other old school movies reactions. Lol, how can they make it seem like a "sixth sense thing" if that movie came out in 1999, lol come on. Also, horror movies rarely if ever never got nominations at the Oscars.
I see what yall are saying bout this movie an I think being so old it has its drawbacks but I still think it’s a classic, now Dr. Sleep !! Is incredible. I hope you guys are watching that next 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I mean, how scary can a movie be if you don’t watch it by yourself?
1. Joe Turkel/Lloyd plays Tyrell in "Bladerunner"
2. "Here's Johnny" was adlib by Nickelson.
3. It took over 65 takes for Jack to chop through the doors. He used his voluntary firefighting skills to get through all the takes. They had to keep building doors.
4. The reason King didn't like this adaptation of the movie is because he didn't like the changes Kubrick made. This thing was remade just for King and although the remake was more in line with the book IMVHO it wasn't as good at this one.
5. Two of the changes he didn't like were Jack's decent into madness was too rapid, and Wendy wasn't such a patsy in the book.
6. Shelley Duval 😇said making this film was the worst thing she ever experienced in her life. She said she would never do it again.
7. Jack Nicholson and Scatman worked together in "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest".
8. The real villain here is the hotel itself.
9. Watch Dr. Sleep. Danny is an adult and many of the loose ends will be cleared up.
So the ability to shine here in the book is sort of connected to the kids in it. They have power to send out to one another. They send it out to Mike not in this current version, but in the books they send power out to him to give him strength.
I´m brazilian. I dont if N word was a big thing like today when the movie was made, but, it makes so much sense the original killer saying it and being racist since he was probably born in slave era. Such a cool detail.
In the novel Dick survived.
Now you gotta watch the sequel!!! It’s called Doctor Sleep, it’s about Danny when he’s older
I understand, guys....When I first watched it (back in the day),I didn't like it . The movie wasn't popular when it came out, either. It's they type of movie that you have to watch a couple of times to appreciate it.
I feel like The Shining is more of a thriller. I like the movie for the eerie tone it sets and it just let's you wallow in it until the climax. I can see why if you just want high energy plot point after high energy plot point that it could be boring, but I enjoy the movie for what it is.
Hereeeeeeees Johnny!!!!!
RTTV should watch more older movies. Too many classics they're missing out on in favor of generic-ass Marvel shit and the like
They explain most of the things that are missing in the Stephen King "The Shining" book. If they would have explained everything this movie would have been hours long.
I hope y'all watch the sequel, Dr. Sleep. More kills, less fluff, more context to the Stephen King books. You might like it more! Also it stars Obi Wan himself as adult Danny!!!!
Stephen king hated the movie too. Jack Nicholson was training to be a firefighter they couldn't use a proper door cause he was nasty with the axe. shelly Duvall was really screaming when he was chopping through the door. Stanley Kubrick stressed her out to her breaking point. at one point jack Nicholson had to tell Kubrick to chill. what makes a movie scary? to me, being isolated up in the snowy mountains with this man who you have to watch going completely insane is scary as shi! the movie leaves a lot to be interpreted. was the hotel haunted? was Jack crazy? was he just a violent drunk? I LOVE this movie! I'll watch it any time, any place! my son and I came up with this theory that Wendy and Danny were the REAL villains! they purposely set out to drive jack insane!😁seriously, there's a load of theories surrounding the deeper underlying message in this movie. Some of them are pretty interesting. if you guys never saw Carrie(the 1976 one, not that new garbage!) that would be a good one!
These guys saying that this movie which is considered 1 of the great classics of all time is not all that good Just crack me up. Dick's Dick's character had no point ,, Well The mom and the boy could not have escaped if he had not brought the snow cab up. Not to mention that it was Tony Who saved Danny, But only after dick How to The shining.
You guys have to watch Doctor Sleep, it’s about the young boy when he grows up
Y'all gotta watch Bones and all, and Devil you'll love the plot for both. Especiallyyyy the first suggestion 💯
DEVIL is a really good movie, and has a really great message
Rob being a cornball as usual
Y’all gotta watch silent hill!
23:02 here’s Johnny😂
Rob is raw dogging that hoodie rn 💀😭
YALL GOTTA WATCH DOCTOR SLEEP AFTER WATCHING DIS BRO IM TELLING YALL💯
U guys might not have loved this one but it’s got a sequel called Doctor Sleep that I think you might like more
React to Orphan(2009), it’s a great horror movie
I was 5 when this came out and I was the youngest of 4, so my siblings watched this movie whenever it came out on HBO and it still scares the shit out of me. The blood coming out of the elevator gets me every time. I have never been able to even consider reading the book because I know what it will do to me 😂
In the 1920s picture, Jack is in the same stance that Baphomet is always depicted in.
25:31 he did rescue them by bringing a snowmobile for them to escape in
13:44
My reaction when my blind date wasn't what she made herself out to be.
You guys should react to Doctor Sleep, which is the sequel to The Shining. I think you'd probably like it better than this.
See Doctor sleep next
This movie actually drove Shelley Duvall nuts. Kubrick is a great director, but he might have been a little too rough on Shelley- working her into a state of terror for the realism of the part. Maybe that was the only way. It's debatable, like everything. It was too much for the poor girl.
I'm speculating, as all of us are with this movie, but I think everything was a manifestation or illusion created by the Indian spirits in the hotel, combined with Jack's memories of his past life there. The hotel's spirits began to inhabit Jack. In the gold ballroom party scene, Jack continued having flashes of his past life, there in 1921. He'd always been the caretaker there. He couldn't see his reflection in the restroom, or see Grady's, because he was both a part of the manifestation as well as a witness to it. Delbert Grady was a projection from Jack's memory of his past life there. Having been the caretaker there in 1921, it was like returning home. Delbert Grady was there as a waiter in 1921, and Charles as the possessed caretaker that killed his wife and kids much later in 1970. Delbert claimed he did the evil deed, but there was a link between the Grady's, I think. It might have been Charles coming through Delbert when he said that.Jack wasn't afraid of ghosts, other than the part of him that was still somewhat himself, as he sure freaked out when he saw that spirit
Scream better than the Shining is a take only RTTV could make. Still love yall though💀
Hush next!!!
Yall need watch Sequel Doctor Sleep Very good
WATCH DOCTOR SLEEP ITS BASICALLY DA SHINNING PT 2 ITS A LOT BETTER TO ME
i AGREE.
please do watch The Time Machine (2002). good movie
Hope y’all watch the sequel “Dr Sleep”
Watch the unrated version of doctor sleep
The $19 million dollar budget for this movie would be considered a $75 million dollar budget in 2024.
Speaking on your discussion about this film, it sounds like you're judging this one far more on the entertainment and rewatch-ability value, as opposed to an art and deep thought value.
Movies like Scream, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday The 13th, and Halloween have a more entertainment value through their fast-pace and surface level satisfactory. They're meant to give you something straight away and be a fun ride, at the cost of building deep characters and deep stories.
But for movies like The Shining, The Exorcist, and even the recent Dune moves are meant to be slow and atmosphere building. It requires long attention span and patience, so that character establishment and development are allowed to be more organic. You're supposed to allow yourself to be taken in by what is going on.
Please react to Doctor Sleep the sequel to The Shining it has Ewan McGregor aka Obi Wan Kenobi playing the kid grown up it's really really good as well. I think it's on HBO Max
Hope you watch doctor sleep next
React to Madagascar please
Would love to see reaction to Popeye movie starring Shelly Duval “Wendy” and Robin Williams
Also wanna say when this movie first came out it wasn’t well received and it wasn’t just Stephan king that didn’t like it, it lowkey had to gain its following and eventually it became one of those classic movies you have to watch so y’all being so mad at them when the older generation didn’t like this film at first. 🤷🏾♀️
React Movie 'Talk to me' I think you'll probably like this movie.
If it's any consulation guys this film is a bastardization of the novel. The only thing this has in common with the source material is that it takes place in a hotel, nothing more and nothing less. If plot elements don't make sense that's because Kubrick had an entirely different vision from which imo he should've just made an entirely original work instead of completely overriding and changing Kings original story and borrowing its namesake, which btw King was very unhappy that he did. Nickleson's acting is what carried this film and if he wasn't in it with his super crazy mannerisms idk if the film wouldn't have been this successful.
React to SPLIT
This film owes a lot to film history.

Also, Mr Halloran is a hero
🐵 🐵 📺 🐵 🐵
Please please please react to SMILE
Yeah, I gotta agree with them. Jack Nicholson and Shelly Duvall did an amazing job, but this movie was not good. I see why Stephen King hated this adaptation of his book because it really didn't make a lot of sense tbh. Granted, I'm into psychological thrillers, but this was way too vague. I'd rather read the book.
Typical L take from Rob I would expect nothing less from his #mentallychallengedass
Okay the main thing I can’t agree with is Rob about Jack performance(he says stuff like that on purpose just to go against the grain) that’s just a flat out lie he was outstanding BUT y’all are so mad at them for not liking it just because it’s a “classic” but THE FUCKING ARTHOR HATES THIS MOVIE! Stephan King himself HATES this wonderful classic y’all are crying over so now what ? 😂 the book was better if we are being real the movie itself isn’t the scariest movie ever but it was good because it was based off the novel let’s remember that kids! Art is subjective just because some find it scary doesn’t mean everybody will and just because it’s considered a classic doesn’t automatically make it good let’s get over ourselves.
Nice
You must have watched a different reaction
@@sreyangovender3404 guess so
people seem to be real upset that they didn't care for the film simply because its considered a horror classic, but the fact of the matter is that this film was critically panned when it was released. reviews were mixed at best and Stephen King fans hated the changes made to the story. it became acclaimed over the course of decades and gained notoriety from constant being constantly parodied in pop culture.
i love the film and it's undeniably iconic but the way people in the comments are insisting it's a generational issue causing the guys to not appreciate it is just flat out wrong lol. horror is just a divisive genre.
It didn't gain notoriety for being parody. It gained praise after the fact when people starting appreciating Kubrick's cinematography and set design in this film.
@Nomad7222 there's a reason all four of them recognized moments like the bike tracking shot or the shot of the twins despite never having watched the film, and it's because the shining has been parodied and referenced in pop culture for decades. but you're not wrong, the reason it gets referenced so much is because of how iconic the film is.
You sound young. This was popular before being parodied@n0nsticknick
Agreed. I don't like horror like that (I don't mind psych thrillers at all), but it was pointless and not that great because of how vague it is.
You guys really need to stick to anime and all that stuff you watch with bright shiny lights. These types of movies ain't for you. I know that film is subjective but your takes are just so whack.
You guys don't have a clue.
Yeah, I've never gotten the hype around this movie. Yes, it's a classic that everyone should see, but it's not that great🤷♀️Nicholson is the movie for me. The sequel that Flanigan did, Doctor Sleep, is amazing! The attention to detail in that movie is fantastic and is way more eventful than this one.
Stay ignorant 😂
Flanagan is too soft.
Doctor Sleep was a surprisingly *great* sequel. Definitely not better than The Shining though. To each their own at the end of the day but personally The Shining scared me more when I first watched it. Both are great films though imo
@FervAnimalLover Flanagan is killing it tf you mean??? Midnight Mass, Haunting of Hill House, Haunting of Bly Manor and Fall of the House of Usher were all phenomenal
The most overrated "classic" film of all time🥱
🥱norm take...and yet, you wouldn't have ANY of the great horror films you enjoy without it 😉
@@bluegypsy71 you're really calling this the blueprint for classic horror movies!!??? 😂 my point exactly. THE MOST OVERRATED "classic" film of all time
