Best horror film ever made?

From Jack Nicholson’s iconic performance to impossible windows, Stanley Kubrick’s labyrinthine The Shining is a masterpiece on its surface that only grows more sinister with further consideration. Is there any greater aim in cinema, horror genre or otherwise, than to make a movie whose mystery only grows with increased exposure, that becomes ungraspable even as it sets its claws of conspiracy in your cortex? Ostensibly a straight-forward ghost story of inner-demons and outer-limits phantasms, Kubrick’s legendary attention to detail and effect has created a movie that is alleged to really be actually about the faking of the moon landing, a critique of American imperialism, Greek mythology, and so on. In a genre which rarely satisfies the critical watcher, perhaps The Shining’s most potent attribute is how it opens its doors for consideration but can then book the incautious viewer a room in paranoia. http://www.cutprintfilm.com/features/50-best-horror-movies-ever-made/
