    This in my opinion, is the greatest horror movie of all time. Instead of just having a slasher film with a natural born killer, The Shining shows a man's descent into pure insanity. This movie is so simple but so complicated, with a lot of symbolism and confusing sights. Room 237, gets more into these conspiracy theories. This movie will last with you forever, thinking about your own sanity. The ending shot is literally the most haunting thing I've ever experienced. Watch this movie now!
