★★★½ The Shining

[Gino: 3.5]

Gino says: 'Horror is definitely not my thing, but I had to get around to seeing this at some point. Perhaps the initial build up in the movie was more enjoyable than the actual delivery at the end, but I enjoyed it. Favorite shots: the camera-follows-the-Big-Wheel, complete with alternating sound of wheels on carpet and wheels on hard flooring. Favorite spoiler: How they devoted all these scenes to the chef making his way back to save the day and he gets axed in the chest 30 seconds after arrival. '
