I'm currently watching The Shining (1980). I love this movie because I can't quite tell if it's an actual ghost movie or a psychological movie. I also like it better than I do Stephen King's book (yeah, I said it) because the way that the father appeared to be deeply disturbed from the very beginning is what made this movie so unsettling and suspenseful. Men do snap and kill their families all the time in the real world which is truly frightening and the idea of a perfectly normal guy going evil and trying to kill his family only because of a hotel is too unrealistic and a bit silly to me.
I feel like Stanley Kubrick's version of the story was way better and the realism is what made it so scary.
