Deciphering Room 237

As my wife and I drove home, our minds were still feverishly downloading what we had just seen.

Trailer for “Room 237” documents the urban legends behind the making of Stanley Kubricks “The Shining”

I regard The Shining as one of the best horror films ever made. Stanley Kubrick’s cleverly crafted horror, although not completely true to the Steven King novel, is a classic in it’s own right and hands down one of the most unsettling flicks I’ve ever seen. That’s why it’s imperative for those of us whoContinue reading “Trailer for “Room 237” documents the urban legends behind the making of Stanley Kubricks “The Shining””
