Cinespia closes out this season of movies above and below the stars with the film the suspense-averse cinetrix successfully avoided for years, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Even more than the oppressively symmetrical composition of each and every frame [and don't even get me started about the hotel carpeting], it's the super-creepy sound design that makes this film a gut twister. Angelos should bust out their protractors and start lining up the lawn chairs now.
Undoubtedly the scariest film ever made, The Shining is nothing less than perfect. With sublime direction from Kubrick and unsurpassed performances by Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall and seven year old Danny Lloyd, it is at once terrifying and entertaining. A caretaker and his family are snowed in at the Overlook Hotel, and discover that it is haunted by spirits who have a sinister plan for them. Please bring blankets, picnic dinner and cocktails for this special screening below (and above) the stars.
