Adam Polselli has writen a great analysis of The Shining’s hallway scene.
“During a scene in Stanley Kubrick’s horror film The Shining (1980), when Danny envisions the girls in a hallway of the Overlook Hotel, Kubrick’s editing in both the classical and montage style heightens suspense, creates dramatic tension, and suggests Danny’s psychological state.”
A great analysis of my favorite director.

Two of my favorite elective classes at college studied both Kubrick and Hitchcock. There’s something about sitting in a darkened theatre-like classroom watching movies and then discussing the methods used to induce fear, anxiety, and the like that just screams “good learning”.
I'm the web and media manager at Plimoth Plantation, a not-for-profit, bicultural museum offering personal encounters with history through the eyes of the Wampanoag People and the Colonial English community of the 1600s.
