Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film adaptation of the Stephen King novel of the same name, The Shining follows the Torrance family as they move in to the Overlook Hotel for Jack's new job as caretaker! However, a classic tale of cabin fever runs into trouble as it finds itself a Stephen King story, and thus the hotel has a dark secret past, the hauntings slowly drive Jack insane... and of course, the kid is psychic.

@@dramawickedrocker Now lets all bask in TVs warm glowing warming glow...
You got that Shening, don't you mean Shining. Hush you want to get sued.
And now the Tony awards, with your host, Hal Linden!!
After seeing both movies, it’s safe to say, there is a little bit of Shining in everyone.
Fun fact: Dick is actually mentioned in the IT novel. His shining allowed him to save a few people in the Black Spot fire, and he briefly saw Pennywise without going crazy.
@Imperial Judesmen138 most of King's books are connected actually
Jonathan Shaw great catch!! I caught that too.
@@GroinFaceGroin i wonder if The Mist is the ending then, because that one is open ended
GroinFaceGroin Gerald's Game has a connection to Dolores Claiborne
The characters in the Tommyknockers also see IT
Because Danny Lloyd was so young, and since it was his first acting job, Stanley Kubrick was highly protective of the child. During the shooting of the movie, Lloyd was under the impression that the film he was making was a drama, not a horror movie. In fact, when Wendy carries Danny away while shouting at Jack in the Colorado Lounge, she is actually carrying a life-size dummy, so Lloyd would not have to be in the scene. He only realized the truth several years later, when he was shown a heavily edited version of the film. He did not see the uncut version of the film until he was seventeen, eleven years after he had made it.
I like to think that Burton showed this film to Warner Bros as his recommendation for Nicholson to play the Joker in Batman (1989)
I saw quite a bit of the Joker's mannerisms in Jack Torrance.
I like to think after his girlfriend was murdered by her father in Chinatown San Francisco, Jack moved up to Colorado and had a kid, but became an alcoholic to deal with his guilt, then went even crazier after being haunted and became the Clown Prince of Crime.
Distracted Globe Productions Jack TORRENCE dies at the end of this film so he can’t be Jack NEIPER who becomes the Joker in Burton’s Batman but an interesting theory nonetheless
@@werewolf_lover2063 Ullman says they never found Torrance's body...
@@werewolf_lover2063
Your favorite monster is a werewolf but your screen name is Gojira... hmmm 😜
They say Jack Nicholson was a professionally trained firefighter. That's why that ax scene look so good.
And they had to build a stronger door because of that training, he was destroying the door too easily.
Kubrick used almost 60 doors to shoot the perfect scene...
@@AutumnWind92NO he didn’t
8:45, RIP, Scatman Crothers( 1910-1986)
FANNN-RIFFIC!!
Wait he was nearly 70 when this was shot? He sure didn't look it.
“She can only manage to squeeze Danny out!”
Yes Decker, that’s how the process of birth works...
“Jacks looking like the edibles just kicked in” lmfao
Yeah, that scene of him looking out the window is where i say "oh yeah, he gone"
I fucking love this movie, Jack Nicholson is a brilliant actor
I used to think that Nicholson was brilliant as well but he has very limited range. A brilliant actor is Daniel Day Lewis, Christian Bale and even Sean Penn when you see how they disappear into their roles. Nicholson has been the same one note actor from Easy Rider to The Departed.
I would totally agree. If someone loves this film that is awesome but this film had no impact on me and I have never had the urge to view it again.
@@deeno329 wait 'til you see _Chinatown..._
@@deeno329 Christian Bale was terrible as Batman
oof Travis bickle pfp
I'm surprised Decker didn't start seeing two clones of Creepy standing at the end of his hallway saying, "Play with us, Decker."
but this aint a gay porno
@ThatLongHairedCreepyGuy I guess he doesn't have to say your name 3 times to get you to show up. :P
@ThatLongHairedCreepyGuy Oh, wow! A response! I wasn't expecting that! So... You gonna do it?
@ThatLongHairedCreepyGuy Creepy Twins. What does Chibithulhu think of the idea?
@ThatLongHairedCreepyGuy Good to know. It's not every day an elder god deems one's idea a good one.
9:25 "Only people like them _with_ the shining can detect the shining, of a shining, shiney place that shines."
**finds out Decker has been playing the Stephen King Drinking Game** DEAR GOD, MAN! ARE YOU SUICIDAL?!!!
Nick Craig if he was he’d try the Pulp Fiction drinking game.
@@dylankaiser5546 that doesn't exist..or does it.
@@PaulybiGGballZ0820 If it doesn't, we need to make a Tarantino Drinking Game someday.
Tense, creepy, haunting, atmospheric, fantastic horror film with some truly amazing performances from Jack Nicholson & Shelley Duvall.
Never have the words "redrum" spoken by a child sounded so disturbing.
Brilliant review Decker.
"Little pigs little pigs let me come in"
@@happygilmore4888 "Here's Johnny!!!!"
*Let me in
Imagine being the one who had to type out "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" thousands of times !
What I love about the shinning the most, besides it’s soundtrack which is phenomenally creepy in its own right, is the lighting, majority of the film is extremely well lit, almost giving the hotel this clinical, unnatural feeling to it. Like it’s too clean, makes it far more unsettling and works far better in my opinion than horror films that are so dark that any form of glare turns the screen into a mirror and you can’t see anything.
The part where Wendy comforts Jack is actually touching, he didn't deserve her.
@giftofgab247 No kidding, people think Jack was crazy? Stanley Kubrick was the true madman. Shelley Duvall had to do the scene with the typed pages 127 times. She really was scared, she really was crying. And she was losing hair from the stress, which Kubrick kept as a memento. Make of that last bit what you will.
Aaron Smith did he really keep it? I haven’t heard that one before more disturbing than jack xD
22:06, the novel ends differently, with Jack dying in an explosion after he forgot to check the boiler, as seen in the 1997 remake.
Lame
Adam Savage made the only exact scale copy of the hedge maze. Even the movie didn't have a complete, and correct model. Adam donated it or has it on loan to the traveling Shining museum I believe.
The Stanley Kubrick museum I think probaly
Thank goodness for Shelly Duvall, who the hell else could you play Olive Oyl like she was born to?
@Sh3p 83 she's like a realistic version of Ms Komi.
I feel about this movie the way Decker feels about the original Halloween.
How dare you

Yeah. I can see how Jack got the part as The Joker.
He's right, though. Timberline lodge does make for a great skiing location.
“Here’s Decker”
I really like how your videos have always followed the same formula and haven’t fallen into doing annoying skits like nostalgia critic does
That's interesting the blood usually gets off on the second floor.
The opening aerial shots are the spirits of the overlook following Jack.
If you think Jack comes off as insane from the start in The Shining, odds are you've lead a lucky life. Easily the most accurate depiction of an abusive father I've ever seen on screen. Take it from someone who knows, unfortunately
Michael Schwartz Jack's book counterpart is also the child of an abusive parent, so abuse being passed down and stuff.
@@ripleyjlawman.3162 I think King was writing a very personal story about his own struggles with addiction, parenthood and not wanting to grow up to be his own father...which is probably why seeing Kubrick gut all that stuff from the adaptation truly hurt. Movie Jack is a bit more true to life IMO, though; guys who worry about turning into Jack typically don't in my experience, if only because they're self-aware enough to worry in the first place.
Sorry to hear about that man, no one deserves to be treated like that, I hope you're doing alright.
Yes. And Wendy as the weak, enabling, excuse-making wife of an abusive alcoholic...basically spot on.
If you had any idea about what Decker went through as a child you wouldn't be saying that

Fun Fact: Dark Tower connects Shining, Stand IT and Salem's Lot
It does?
@@diegobareno5820 Yes it's does. In fact, the words, "Pennywise lives", is in every novel and short story, thus creating the King Cinematic Universe.
The opposite of your commas..
Technically, its a multiverse and the Dark Tower connects each universe while the story has different appearances
The Stand: Randall Flag is Walter oDim
Shining: Shining powers
IT: Pennywise is the same species as the Crimson King
Salems Lot: Vampires and Father OCalahan
@@GaryTurbo Right, multiverse! Thanks!😉
Kubrick's version of Wendy is an underrated strong female character.
Just like Shelley Duvall being such a strong woman, having that role literally broke her as a person. 😂
Surprised at no Simpsons references with how known their spoof of the film is. Good review, btw.
"Do another take and get it right. one hundred and twenty seven times!"
ERB! Lol I think about that song every time I hear someone talk about the number of takes Kubrick made them do for that scene
Lake placid review?
I'm surprised you haven't done one yet
Me too

That was filmed at the same lake I always go swimming at in the summertime. Kinda creepy lol
@@dougsworld7533 that's awesome
@@dougsworld7533 Sweet!
13:18 "Jack stares awkward like the edibles just kicked in" LMAO
I watched this movie when I was 8 and to this day it still gives me chills. Love Decker Shado's commentary puts a whole new spin of fun into it.
Fun fact:
The reason they changed the room number from "217" to "237", was because the Hotel they were filming at, had a room "217" and they obviously didn't wanna shed bad light on it.
Glad you seemed to putting out more content. I really enjoy your reviews.
This movie is a masterpiece and Jack Nicholson's performance is jaw-dropping, easily a top 5 Horror film of all time!
I've waited so long for this video! Thank you Decker.
One of my favourite films; Kubrick was a genius. I like all the attention to detail and it is a film that can hold up to multiple viewings. It wasn't filmed on location, which is so amazing. I really enjoyed reviewing this myself and finding out some interesting trivia.I like that the ''Here's Johnny" line was improvised by Nicholson. Another good review :)
2 days after House of a 1000 corpses? Damn!!! Don't stop =)
Funny how Jack Nicholson tends to play characters named "Jack."
13:17 “jack stares onward like the edibles kicked in” LMFAOOOOOOO
I love you, Decker. Never stop making videos :)
I knew from the get-go that Decker would enjoy this movie. It has been hands down one of my favorite horror movies with how the slow tones through and through cause the buildup of character production, with the environment giving unease even for being the mort normal environment we all have been in.
Some interesting personal side notes on this film:
Stephen King said he wanted to scare people but Kubrick "made a film to hurt people".
- I believe Jack can shine too, but he doesn't know what it is and it scares him so he drank to medicate and numb the voices he hears. Of course, now he is dry and the isolation of the hotel makes the visions he experienced more vividly.
- It's possible that Jack had sexually abused Danny at the hotel, and possibly in the past already. The sexual imagery throughout the film, the mysterious events of Room 237, and hints that Jack is hiding something, including him looking at a Playgirl magazine in the hotel lobby and that look he gives when he is being interviewed and delivers the line " Well, you won't have to worry about me" are a couple examples. He also seems to be very infatuated with the bathroom and the bed, specifically, when being introduced to their living space. The phallic-looking Apollo that is blasting straight towards Danny's face is an interesting choice when put into context like this too. Of course, the "you know I would never hurt you and mommy right?" moment he has with Danny is just blatantly creepy, as if he is prepping him for something to be normalized later.
- Wendy is the one actually doing all the actual work around the hotel, which is funny because she didn't interview for the job. She is checking the boilers and the freezers, calling in for radio checks and weather updates, making food, and watching Danny throughout the film. Meanwhile, Jack is "writing" and often throwing a ball against the wall by himself. He doesn't do shit. WTF??
considering playgirl is literally gay playboy yea pretty suspect
he made up the "shine" as a vague non too defined thing so the reader would think about it never intending to define it or flesh it out.
You watched Rob Ager's video lol
@@metroidxme6470 Who's that? Got a link?
5:36 I would think methamphetamine would be a more fitting substance over black tar heroin, considering the joke was about Jack being violent when drinking, pretty sure he'd be a lot more violent if he was tweaking versus nodding out on heroin 😂
6:35, the hedge animals did not make an appearance until the 1997 underrated remake came out, even though it was a hit on TV, it has not aged well, as critics consider Steve Webber's Jack Torrance is more campy than scary.
22:05 Jack Torrance...The Ice Bucket Challenge Champion!
Looking forward to your thoughts on Doctor Sleep!
Love your videos man I really like how it really feels like you actually write your videos I hate watching TH-cam videos of people that just go off the cough and say just whatever comes to their mind yeah it's more human but it also gets boring anyways just wanted to say I love your video this one's awesome to keep up the Lord's work
Though I love everything you put out, I would really like to see you review the Warlock series. Not many big reviewers do it, and I think you could have a fun time with it.
I'M DOIN DRUGS!!!!
You are the only dude I will pay money to see on youtube. Keep up the good work bro. I always laugh my ass off when you review movies! XD
"The Shining is....NOT....one of the best horror movies ever made?"
Da fuq?
Benjamin C. Ikr. Imo it defiantly is
Reviews, first reactions and analyses are as interesting to watch as the movie itself, but your commentary is hilarious! "It's amazing what you can do with a little Scrubbing Bubbles" Too funny!!!
The shimmering returns!
Btw review lake placid and Anaconda
I read the book not too long ago for the first time and I don't see where this movie is THAT far off from the base plot of the book. Kubrick is a master film-maker and his interpretation was spot on for me. I also later acquired the TV mini-series that Mr. King produced and wrote the screen-play for....and it nearly matches the book, scene for scene and I didn't find it at all scary or creepy. Yet Kubrick's movie still does to this day. I largely feel that the music is the key. If you have the means to play the 4K version of this film, with its Dolby Atmos track at loud volume, you will be creeped the fuck out by the end. The music is integral to the horror.
Not gonna lie, i want to see Decker's version of the Shining.
I love your idea for the plot. Danny battling demons with psychic powers while Jack runs around with chainsaw hands would be absolutely epic!
Great vid Decker! I honestly never been into The Shining, but that's because pyschological films aren't my type of film.
Anyway, I was wondering if you'd ever review Hereditary, I want to know your thoughts on it, but either way I love your vids as your my fav movie reviewer who also conveniently has the best hair!
Along the road in the opening shot they get into a head on collision with Deckard and Rachel from Blade Runner's ending.
I loved how Jack when he was cutting through the door with the axe they placed lighter fake doors and he just blasted through them.. so they put a real door, they sort of forgot he was trained as a fire marshall.. and yeah it was his job
lol Decker, I really couldn't handle being hungover in that very yellow room.
1:40 You can see the helicopter blades at the top of the screen. That's pretty damn scary to think about how dangerous it was to get that shot.
Unrelated, but my favorite memory of this film: the first time I saw it was at a middle school sleepover. One of my friends was a bit slow in putting some of the clues together and when we pointed out that "RedruM" was another word written backwards, she confusedly asked what "Dermur" was supposed to mean. We still don't let her forget about that.
I always love a Decker Shado review
Love your profile name and pic 🔪🤡🃏
"I'm Decker Shado, the internet seleberty with a drinking problem"
So half of um?
Great Review!
Could you maybe do a Wrong Turn 1-6 Review? I think they would really suit your taste of movies.
Missed an opportunity to mention how the opening theme is a rendition of the Dies Irae from Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, which turned the centuries old melody into a musical representation of death.
A masterpiece from start to finish, just don't try to analyze it. It will f**k you up.
no not really .. Jack has always been the caretaker ..
in other words Jack is Grady and the Overlook is Hell
Jack is a killer who killed his family and now is to suffer in Hell forever
@@KenMabie except he didnt kill his family lol
Ah, that explains why I have these "issues" then... Saw it when I was a kid... Kubrik really fucked up with this movie. Nicholson did a great job but the movie makes little sense.
I also think that there are two old women in room 237, the one chasing Jack looks different than the dead one in the tub especially the hair, its too short. Who knows...
Jw Nj yes it’s the two twins that Danny was seeing
20:39 Oh hi Johnny, I didn’t know it was you
I thought I was gonna head a Kool-Aide joke when the elevator opened with blood pouring like heck
I like the end song.
You could use the piano before the guitar drop as your regular outro theme.
You could use the music after the guitar drop as your regular intro theme.
Since it's all royalty free (I assume), you won't even have to worry about copyright strikes.
Most likely.
Yesterday, Nov. 7, was my birthday so I went to watch Doctor Sleep. I definetly recommend watching it...
Congratulations on your birthday!
How was the movie?
@@opticracer3927 Thank you! The movie was a nice continuation of Danny. Its very brutal and messed up in some scenes. But its also more story driven than nostalgia. So I say go ahead and watch it for an amazing climatic ending...
Happy B-Day !
@@eddihurta7173 Thank You!
Yo me too
I love this dude...you remind me of the great personalities of the 80s........the hair....the weird al energy........love it....you are a dying breed......that makes two us 🥁
Gotta say, I would totally pay to see Decker Shados "The Shining".
Chainsaw Hands for the MFW!
11:07 "I Can totally make a pacman board game with this!"
Simply one of my favorites when I saw this on TV, scared the shit out of me, and I saw Doctor Sleep recently and I absolutely love it! 😃

Daaaavid Letterman!
Hi, David! I'm Grandpa.
D'oh!
Caine7ify He finally found them doing 60 Minutes lol
Have to agree with SK why he hated Kubrick's version of his story;
Jack Torrance in the novel slowly goes mad in the Overlook.
Once Nicholson gives you his usual smile, we already know he's bat shit crazy af.
Well, watched a ton of your vids lately and yeah, you definitely your sub. Keep on the good work.
He dies by getting trapped in a hedge maze. It's only now I realize he had an axe on him the whole time and could have used that to get out of the maze. He was crazy and it still would take some time so it's a thing I can easily....(puts on sunglasses) overlook.
Gonna need u ti review the childs play series asap mmmmmkay ive seen then all obviously but ur reviews are wholesome and fun for the whole family
At 6:04 - "Little kids just LOVE darts." Dude - it was the late 1970s, early 1980s. Darts was considered a family friendly game that even kids could play. It wasn't considered a game for more mature audiences until the late 1980s, early 1990s.
Decker, I have been a fan of yours for about five years now and a subscriber for almost three. I know you cover a lot of science fiction and horror films, in fact that is primarily what you cover on your show. Since you reviewed Kubrick's The Shining, I would love to know if you were interested in or intending to review 2001: A Space Odyssey or A Clockwork Orange, also directed by Stanley Kubrick. Though I would certainly understand if you decided it wasn't worth the trouble of trying to review A Clockwork Orange.
2 reviews in 1 week? Awesome 👏
20:40, the immortal one liner!
I was waiting for this for this
R.I.P. Mrs. Torrance
This is the first horror movie I ever saw. And I really loved it. Still do. Amazing review as always. Also, the Cabin Fever remake ripped off the opening credit music from the Shining.
I couldn't get past the Cabin Fever reboot credit I prefer the Original
@@Captain-Palsy I watched it out of very morbid curiosity
As for red rum. I dunno how easy it would be to get over there but Bundaberg (an Australian brand), carry a red rum.
Stephen King apparently didn't like this adaptation of his novel, but for me i'm on Kubrick's side on this.
jaredroberts27
The movie follows a much closer path to the tale of the abuser who wants to stop but drives themself insane in doing so via guilt
@bruce wayne Yeah, Stephen King did direct a movie, Maximum Overdrive? Maybe he should stick to writing , because Wes Craven he ain't.
@@DamnatioMemoriae164 oh i read the book. I just prefer the movie version, because there is a subtle explanation for that edginess to Jack. He molested his son at one point, and theres plenty of hinting to that. There is a great vid on youtube that goes in depth to show it all and even shows some i missed in my 3 times watching the film at various ages. Highly recommend it
The Dark Overlord
Part of the fun lol
giftofgab247 i have a feeling you reallt hate Kubrick.. Why would you hate on the guy that probably is the best director of all time?
YES! FINALLY! THIS IS AWSOME
Wondering if this is going to be like the Halloween 78 review
There’s a deleted scene at the end where Mr Ullman (Outlook Manager) visits Wendy and Danny in hospital. He offers to Wendy for them to stay with him in L.A before leaving the room and rolling the red ball to Danny who is with the nurse outside perhaps implying that he was complicit with everything that had been going on. Unfortunately it looks like all remnants of the scene have been destroyed.
You had to see this on the big screen upon release, a fantastic experience, certainly no where near as impactful on a television.
As a huge King fan...yeah I’m actually with King here and actually don’t really like this one. Yeah the performances are good and have a few good scenes for sure (the bar scene is actually my favorite), there’s so many things that either were rushed, changed, or totally left out and not even referenced, that it’s annoying as a fan of the book. That and the entire character arch for Jack skips totally from happy yet struggling family man to insane murderous freak before you can say Jack Nicholson
