Is the movie The Shining scary? What kind of story is told in it?

When it comes to the most classic horror movies in the world, many people will think that they are horror movies like The Ring of Midnight and The Curse. However, when we dig deeper, those more interesting movies must belong to sharping.

Jack, the hero of The Shining, found a part-time job to look after the Peak Hotel. In order to get a good writing environment, he moved into this hotel with his wife and children. Jack's son saw a terrible and strange sight here for the first time. The black housekeeper noticed this and told the child that it was a kind of telepathy, which he called "Xia Ping".

In winter, the road is closed by heavy snow, leaving only Jack's family in the hotel. Jack's family often sees visions in the hotel, and there is no one else in the hotel except the three of them. It was not until later that his wife Wendy discovered her husband's fault and found that there was only one sentence in his manuscript: All work and no play made Jack a dull boy. Crazy Jack began to hunt down his wife and children everywhere. The black housekeeper who noticed something was wrong through Sharpin was also beheaded by Jack after delivering a car. Finally, his wife Wendy drove away with her son, leaving Jack frozen to death in the garden.

The whole movie is very mysterious and scary. The ubiquitous illusion, the dead twins, the mysterious woman in room 237 and the ranger housekeeper in the bar all point to a case in which a ranger killed his wife and daughter in a hotel decades ago. Sharpening is an important clue of the whole movie. It is speculated that not only Jack's son and the black housekeeper have the ability of shaping, but their whole family has the ability of shaping, so there are so many fantasies, and Jack is crazy about it.

There is an old photo at the end of the film, dancing with a young man who looks like Jack, which seems to show that Jack is the ranger who once made a murder. The whole film is full of doubts, and the foreshadowing and detailed depiction everywhere leave a deep mystery to the audience. As for what the clues in the film point to, it seems that only the director himself can understand.
