Just saw this cluster fuck of a movie Why is it even relevant,

it might be because people get better at stuff over time

and that comparing something made decades ago, to something made yesterday with 100x the budget, experience, and examples to draw from, might be an unfavorable comparison

its why there are only a few classics, and even they feel pretty dusty

Like most horror movies, it has a bigger impact on kids than adults. I saw this when I was like 8 or 9, and it fucked me up. You shouldn't expect to pop in a movie about ghosts TODAY and be legitimately frightened by it, you know damn well it's just a movie.

I do think it's a good one, though. For Stephen King, it was all about his fear of being an awful husband or father, the fear that he'd get too drunk or high, or just go too crazy, and do something really unforgivable.

For Kubrick, it was all about the hotel. Trapped in an enclosed space for the winter, this family just starts soaking up the entire history of what's happened to other people on that land. They're guided by supernatural forces that are trying to lock them into a pattern, where history will repeat again and again.

Those two ideas melt together into something pretty interesting. And again, when I re-watch it, I'm also still drawing on the memory of being terrified by this shit as a kid. So I get why the impact on you wasn't as strong. But it's still a damn good ghost story, even if it doesn't actually frighten you

It's a great film because it has great acting, editing, cinematography, production design, sound design, basically the execution of every single filmmaking element is nearly flawless.

Stop judging horror films as a separate medium where the only measurement of quality is the number of times you got "spooked"

It's a kubricks movie. They are really pretty even for todays standards. That's saying something considering it was made in the sixties.
