The Shining is often considered one of the greatest horror films ever made and its meaning has been debated endlessly for over 40 years. Like any Stanley Kubrick-directed film, watching it feels different from watching other movies. You can sense a deeper meaning and that especially stands out in the horror genre where most films settle for the usuals chills and thrills.

In this video, we’ll excavate that meaning, including the enigmatic ending, with help from Stanley Kubrick himself and his co-writer on the movie Diane Johnson. Both have given interviews over the years where they’ve given small hints that we’ll use as guideposts in our analysis.
