>>18632894>and Kubrick knew what he was doingbin the ShiningOh yeah, I thought the movie was way better. I read The Shining when I was alone in a hotel room for a couple of days, and it just wasn't ever scary. It was all just emotional baggage being described a little too accurately for comfort.
I will say that Doctor Sleep, on the other hand, is an accidental allegory for adrenochrome harvesting, right down to the "Pain purifies the steam" shit. Or it's just King rubbing it in everyone's faces.
