White Man's Burden (The Shining, 1980)
Description
For week 3 of Creepy Juncture 2024 we discuss The Shining. This 1980
horror/drama film tells the story of a family isolated in a hotel for
the winter where the father is employed as the off-season caretaker. The
son sees foreboding visions of past and future, and a sinister presence
influences the father into madness and violence. We discuss pacing,
audio, missing topiaries, children who are cunning under pressure, and a
line so bafflingly out of place it became the title of the episode.
We’re talking movies adapted from Stephen King stories this month. We
started off with Gerald’s Game and last week discussed the Tim Curry
version of IT from 1990. This is also an especially good one to watch.
