The Shining (1980) UNCOMFORTABLE MOVIE REACTION! FIRST TIME WATCHING!!

hello everyone um before we start the video uh we just wanted to say a massive thank you to our patreons um or patrons uh you guys and gals um are supporting this channel in a massive way and we can't thank you enough but more specifically uh we wanted to give a big shout out to our patreon brian dull uh he's supported us in a massive way uh this month and we kind of wanted to return the favor brian has a new horror book that has just been released called small hearts and it's got kind of paranormal type of vibe to it um and we thought we would just advertise it to you guys watching because you're all horror fans and i'm sure you would probably enjoy this type of thing the front cover alone looks terrifying and it's you and the books even won some awards so it's pretty much guaranteed to freak you out we've ordered a copy of the book ourselves and we will be reading it but if i'm honest brian you watching uh this video now uh i've only actually read uh stephen king horror books so i've i've read it and i've read the mist and a bunch of his uh short stories as well so you've got a lot to live up to but if the synopsis is anything to go by and the fact that it's won so many awards uh i i can i can see that it's going to be an awesome read if anyone wants to check it out check out the link in the description that leads you to brian's website and we've also got a link an amazon link to where you can actually buy the book itself it's got some great reviews as well i was looking at these reviews and i was there was someone on there that like that said like this book has affected i've never been as affected by the characters in a book as much as this one book have you seen the front cover of the book though like with all the eyes it looks great called like the chill children of the corn i think the stephen king one with the cut oh yeah the one with the kids with the glowing eyes yeah that's what the front cover reminds me of like i said before the link to the uh the amazon link is in the description below um this this youtube channel is uh you know about horror uh it's about movies in general it's about supporting creators i love the idea of positivity as well yeah helping each other out no exactly yeah yeah supporting each other and you guys are all horror fans uh all we can ask you to do is you know show brian some love uh click the link and just check it out um uh yeah but without further ado um we hope you enjoy our reaction to the shining so we've come because as it would just be a complete waste yeah anti-climax that's why i say finish it off until we watch the next 10. we want to end on a high uh you haven't seen this film i have it's in the 80s i'm i'm thinking 80s i think it's 1980. i already know what score i'm giving this film because i just love it so much this is just going to be solidifying i hope this one would differ loads on yeah we'll see we'll see because the film is it's got talking points to it it's got talking points to it so the film that we're going to be watching tonight today is the shining oh god you haven't seen it i don't know why i haven't seen it it's a stephen king classic yeah it is in fact his most probably most well-known book is carrier i would say or it yeah um but stephen king hated this movie did it absolutely hated it it doesn't did not represent the book itself i haven't ever heard that stanley kubrick it is stanley kubrick isn't it i've heard he does what he wants quite a bit because i think cockwork orange he changed quite a bit stanley kubrick is like is like one of the best directors that have ever lived he actually is so bespoke in how he does things he actually he actually invented a set of lenses to film his films and he would only use these lenses to to uh to film his film so obviously i've seen um ready player one where stephen spielberg like sort of pays homage to oh okay yeah film so i've got a little bit of awareness of it i know certain tropes like i know the the twins in the corridor yeah and he's on his little tricycle i know the red room murder thing do you know what it's about i know knocking down the door i think it's just about a guy that gradually starts going insane because there's some sort of supernatural i mean usually stephen king's clocks are really unsettling in some way or in some form there yeah all that weird unnerving stuff going on yeah um i hope i like it because i don't want to watch i don't want to wait to shine and say i didn't like it after seeing it i think the reason why we haven't seen these high profile uh films especially you with the shining is that it is so hyped up that you're just like you're almost unconsciously thinking no it's [ __ ] yeah yeah you know what i mean oh you're almost unconsciously thinking you've seen the film yeah because you've seen bits of it people talk yeah you know everything references the axe scene right like from the simpsons yeah something else everything's everything you've seen it this film has got one of my favorite acted scenes in any movie there's one movie uh uh called shutter island with leonardo dicaprio has a really good acting scene that i love in it this scene has got another one of those scenes where i'm just like this is so good oh man the shiny so let's come to this yes my question about this film is is it even a horror or is it i mean is it a horror like what we've seen or is it more of a uh more of a thriller or something i would say it's more of a psychological horror potentially i can't to be honest with you i remember bits of it i can't remember what order they were happening it's been a while it's very weird it's definitely weird cinematography though look at that landscape this is it's insane good sweeping shot isn't it yeah [Music] jack just make yourself at home would you like some coffee well if you're gonna have some i wouldn't mind thanks there's hardly anybody to play with around here yeah i know it always takes a little time to make new friends that's actually you and mcgregor as a kid as well no it's not well how come you don't want to go i can't don't i wouldn't let my kid do that i'm outlining a new writing project and uh five months of peace is just what i want five months they're in there for so he's looking after them i'd love that five months chilling yeah that's what jack nicholson said anything in denver about the tragedy we had up here during the winter in 1970 i don't believe they did during the wonder he must have suffered some kind of a complete mental breakdown he killed his family with an axe stacked him neatly in one of the rooms of the west wing and uh then he um he put both barrels of a shotgun in his mouth he doesn't seem surprised he already did who's he talking to tonya man it gives me creeps man i love that shot the editing man is just haunting and eerie well i've got a few questions who were the girls yeah what the hell was the blood what's wrong with the hotel what's wrong why is it something supernatural oh yeah okay yes boy [Laughter] i think that was farther west in the sierras the way he's acting is almost he knows he knows going to happen going to happen like maybe he's plans or like a sense of impending doom or something yeah but not worrying about it it's like he's determined or already ready for something else yeah i don't understand i've never noticed that before but [Music] oh man i get real get real nervous feeling about this i don't know why it's the music you know what i'm reminded of at the moment mid-summer a little bit with the music and the the shots of the setting give you that sense of something's going to happen but nothing has happened yeah yeah that's unnerving yeah [Music] [Music] uh construction started in 1907. it was finished in 1909. the site is supposed to be located on an indian burial ground and i believe they actually had to repel a few and that's always good isn't it we've learned from the poltergeist that that's not a good idea he took the 12 stars but he didn't take the bikes [Music] how'd you like some ice cream the sociables and seven kinds of rolls and several guys what do you think that's about i've got no i can remember when i was a little boy my grandmother and i could hold conversations entirely without ever opening our mouths she called it shiny oh here we go i think a lot of things happened right here in this particular hotel over the years and not all of them was good what about one two three seven two three seven there ain't nothing in room two three seven but you ain't got no business going in there anyway so stay out what's in room 237 i don't know mate the carpet in this movie as well the upstairs like corridor carpet yeah is uh in toy story in the next door neighbors oh yeah that's a good yeah reference this is cool i like that shot yeah [Music] [Applause] no oh jesus it's tense man going through this maze this is what he's trying to do he's like he's almost creating that because of all the cuts and all the times he's almost creating that um claustrophobic cabin fever type feel himself with the maze and with these corridors everywhere looking the same isn't it creating that sort of feel is this the carpet yeah this is the carpeting a lot written today yes he's already sick of us hey the weather forecast said it's gonna snow tonight what do you want me to do about it what dick it's odd framing it's just straight on in the middle here and she's looking off to the side whether you don't hear me typing what the [ __ ] you hear me doing in here when i'm in here that means that i am working that means don't come in how do you think you can handle that yeah what the hell that escalated like mad i mean he has been there for a month yeah but like writer's block for a month it's like he's cut out loads of mini interactions that are built up a bit of it yeah jesus his face i just i think it's just epic [Music] sort of chosen for the joker yeah that must have been 1987. i knew she was gonna be there forever and ever i thought there was going to be a jump scare there there's no there's no release of tension [Music] it's been like a month and a half not long spent a month i've spent two months in my room in lockdown didn't end up killing anyone yeah yeah well it wasn't the overlook hotel was it yeah i was even more on my parents house [Laughter] each scene is of equal if not greater disturbing tension than the one before yeah it's amazed like quality of the card it's kind of corridor that would go and extend and you could never get to the end of it in your dreams it's giving me the shivers man guess what room it is two three seven got it from nowhere jim you jumped before i saw that if i saw that i was freaked out oh that's even worse [Applause] [Music] what happened to your neck huh well everybody we're getting in the car we're getting out of here didn't you you son of a [ __ ] did he though and was it not i mean he was asleep barney yeah but was he maybe he saw that maybe he was in that room he didn't see just music man hi lloyd a little slow tonight isn't it [Laughter] yes it is mr turns well there's someone else in the hotel with us there's a crazy woman in one of the rooms she tried to strangle danny are you out of your [ __ ] mind it's the truth really i swear it daddy told me this just strikes me as back when someone could make a film and just make what they wanted to make yeah like their vision as opposed to the engineering never make this today no i guess unless you're that hairy ass the guy that makes who are you [Music] [Applause] what [Music] oh [ __ ] okay hell oh that's disturbing rising out of the bathtub there's just this relentless haunting like realism but then that there was that heartbeat must have been going for like 10 minutes i reckon yeah and you didn't see anything at all only a rotting dead body in there get him out of here [Music] you mean just leave the hotel [Music] it is so freaking typical of you to create a problem like this when i finally have a chance to accomplish something i have let you [ __ ] up my life so far but i am not gonna let you [ __ ] this up this is everyone in lockdown when they have to go back to work they get so used to cabin fever they can't think of the idea of living on the outside i need some daylight i need some daylight in this film all right this reminds me of the episode of it's always sunny mac and dennis move to the suburbs yeah i feel like that plays on this mr grady haven't i seen you somewhere before what is that i don't believe so we haven't if we haven't even received his face yeah have we i've really ever seen his face yet it's just always been to the back that's weird isn't it miss grady weren't you once the caretaker here why there's a i don't believe sir i have a wife and uh two daughters sir oh what was the stained red chopped your wife and daughter up into little bits it must have been it on purpose for that exact reason and you blew your brains out but you are the caretaker oh you've always been the caretaker did you know mr torrance that your son is attempting to bring an outside party into this situation there must be ghosts of people from like the 20s and 30s and stuff that's where the old music was he's a caretaker that died a couple years a few years ago but how does these ghosts know this and they're telling him they've got one foot in the real world haven't they it's weird yeah my girl sir they didn't care for the overlook at first one of them actually stole a pack of matches and tried to burn it down but i corrected them sir and when my wife tried to prevent me from doing my duty i corrected her is my favorite scene of all time in this film and probably any other film any film well well i don't know but it's a good [Music] he's just been writing that the whole time the entire time that is so and there's no copy and pasting mate it's a [ __ ] typewriter it's so bad that is so messed up so he's been sick for a while how do you like it how would you go about talking to someone when do you think maybe he should be taken to a doctor as soon as possible as soon as possible thought about my responsibilities have you ever thought for a single solitary moment about my responsibilities to my employers i'm not gonna hurt you stay away from me wendy darling light of my life i'm not gonna hurt you you didn't let me finish my sentence i said i'm not gonna hurt you i'm just gonna bash your brains in i'm gonna bash him right the [ __ ] in this is the scene they had to do two engines like sticking out his tongue and [ __ ] it's insane [Music] and that concludes the best scene ever put to screen in my opinion oh i loved every minute of all that there you go man baby i think you hurt my head real bad i'm gonna go you've got a big surprise coming to you you're not going anywhere oh check it out go check it out [Music] [Laughter] [Applause] what do you do in that situation radio's gone the thing is come you you wait it out she's locked him in a in the food storage area as well because she thought she was gonna you'd have to open it up and just wave the knife oh yeah i thought i just have no idea how this is gonna end at all you were saying oh [Music] hey [Music] you can't beat that guy with the axis shove the kid through there and jump and just i'm home [Music] [Applause] what would you do here's johnny [Applause] anybody here [Music] lately it's been it's like a champ what [Applause] i thought what was gonna happen is the cook was gonna rescue him after the mum died [Applause] [Music] yeah good one mate [Music] huh it's gonna get stuck in the maze [Music] 1921 i told you it museum the bottom is that the bottom is that here yeah just leave you to process that just a little bit all right i want to hear what you have to say i've seen this film already like i've previously said um so what's your verdict why did you have to show me this film why you know we watch horror films and they're not scary often are they like they can be entertaining they can be they can make you jump they can make it can make you tense and they can put you on edge there's only a few that looks scared this film got to me yeah like especially by the end of the film i don't think i've ever been this affected by an ending of a film since it's quite an eerie ending maybe maybe mid-summer or the babadook or something like that it's an area so what's your rate and what's your verdict i've been thinking about it i'm gonna give it a i'm gonna give it a 9 out of 10. wow which person is my top spot all right because for me it's definitely better than the exorcist and i can't even say i was less entertained watching this than when i watched the evil dead too it's it's a different kind of entertainment isn't it it's very interesting to say that before this film i got you on footage saying that you don't think you would rate it probably an eight and uh you didn't think it was going to be better than the evil dead or the exorcist is that what i said yeah you said it i i can't see it being better than the exorcist this is a it hasn't negatively affected me watching this film but i'm just thinking like i kind of have questions about it but then i'm also happy with my own explanations as to what happened all right we'll get into that we'll get into 9 out of 10 9 out of 10. all right it's funny because um all the all the films that i love and i've showed you uh even though i i am so such a hardcore fan of those films you rate them higher really yeah so you're in i'm sorry you were dead you were 8.5 i was uh eight um and and shining you rated at nine uh i'm going to rate this an 8.7 so really does that make it your highest as well it does make it my highest yeah [Music] it's my first nine obviously if i was to give it a say a star rating which we don't really like do we give it five stars there's just this like relentless haunting atmosphere in the entire film you know if we're rating the film without even thinking about as a film if we're just thinking about horror films yeah then it's pretty masterful in how it creates tension constantly i mean i did say a similar sort of thing about halloween but this is different i would say i was tense and suspenseful when i watched halloween when i watched this i'm almost haunted yeah you know what i mean yeah it's got it's the atmosphere the way it makes you feel uh in each scene it's like so uneasy i tell you yeah how i feel yeah like claustrophobic yeah i feel claustrophobic after watching this film throughout and that's achieved in lots of different ways the music is relentless oh my god absolutely relentlessly yeah there's no theme to it no but it's they've experimented so much with the variety of different uh uh tones and and different um sounds and instruments and i couldn't even i couldn't even tell you what's where really in the film there's those screeches that happen yeah it had that crackling tissue that kind of phenomenon you know in sugar island when when she described his wife describes uh that there's a um an insect uh tapping on her skull it's almost like that um very real acting and reaction especially from her when but however when i watch this movie i don't obviously i think that she's done an amazing performance but he just steals the show you know i i differ from you yeah yeah i don't think he's the best part of the film um i think he's just a byproduct of the atmosphere yeah that is created in the whole film yeah he's not the scariest thing i think he's a good actor it's the idea that that he's he's being manipulated by dead people yeah that's the weird thing that i that really puts me on edge as i said he's sort of of a byproduct of the horn for me the villain of the piece is or the most haunted thing of the piece is the overlook yeah yeah 100 especially with that ending it's as if it's as if the hotel took his soul for it for himself yeah yeah that's what it is it's like a weird and that's the claustrophobia that's the entrapment of the isolation that you feel it's almost as if you're being like he is he is part of the overlook hotel now there's no escape in it he's the history yeah the fact that he's almost been taken and swallowed into the history i'm just i'm wondering whether or not in the book stephen king like fleshes out the mythology a little bit more i feel like the idea of the actual shining yeah may be fleshed out more in the book maybe i'm wrong [Music] is who the hell is this toby guy telling him what's what maybe maybe that's how he um uh solidifies the shining into something that makes sense for the kid into a being that tells him right where does it actually is he doesn't eat things yeah he doesn't know where these thoughts and stuff are coming from he's so he's created this thing yeah as kids do like an imaginary friend yes i mean i guess the child isn't a reliable narrator in that sense right maybe we'll have to what i'm i've so wanted to watch doctor sleep in which is the sequel to this film how does this compare to like other stephen king adaptations like it um i like the original tim curry yet do you like further sequels yeah again stephen king in his writing i've said it before but he always has that unnerving element to the story have you seen the mist i haven't seen the mist i've seen carrie i've seen cujo i've seen um i can't believe you haven't seen the mist christine i haven't seen the stand i've seen the shawshank redemption which is obviously really good and the green mile which again is amazing could you see i mean it's in the green mile isn't it there's that always unnerving unexplained yeah aspect to the supernatural i think he leaves up to us to explain whether or not it is supernatural and again we could be completely talking about out of our asses because the book could be completely different to this film and what we're saying could be totally unrelated to the actual concept or storyline to the book so please no angry comments in fact give us angry comments say i can't believe you have seen it yeah we'll we'll find out what's different um whether that's reading the book or just researching it the whole the waterfall of blood is everywhere it's not just the girls or the families every it's the history that's been everything that's happened there that's what it is but it could yeah it could either be all the lies the overlook hotel has as has um has taken over time but it could also represent the overlook hotel itself and the fact that it's a living breathing thing yeah just going back to what you said about um jack nicholson's character about how there's almost this destined fate that he is there yeah the whole film technically is almost like an inevitability like all of the tracking shots it's like a journey that are leading you to one point and it's just i just kind of i know i've mentioned it already when i was watching the film but all of these tracking shots that just follow the character from front from behind the staircase scene man that's where i am our favorite scene of all time could you one of the things that he was doing i just wonder how many things did he do they must have done hundreds of yeah well i think that that scene took up over like 200 takes or something like that the woman and the wife is the best actress in the film the best actor in the film she was brilliant in this i just and to be fair the scenes my favorite scene wouldn't be my favorite scene without her her accent i think they both played off well together what didn't you like about this film i mean this is the thing this is why i'm giving it a nine because there's so so much to like so little i don't like the one thing that i would say is first of all i love the track and shots and i love the fact that kubrick takes his time with the film however that being said i do think the film could have been at least 10 to 15 minutes shorter i think it could be cut down there was some scenes um that didn't necessarily need to be in there it could have done without but it's it's all it's all opinion based i guess i'd hesitate to do that just because of the claustrophobic feel that i've got from watching it i guess it yeah tampering with it i guess could run the risk of of ruining it completely i guess who knows but i'm hoping i'm i'm hoping that i know that uh in the past you haven't trust me when i've picked out films especially with like so you say yeah you need to trust me nowadays yeah i did evil dead shining i was wanting to watch the evil dead yeah i did really fancy i did really was really getting into that admittedly the exorcist i did i had the same reservations as this it's because it's the classic yeah people if it's a classic there's a reason why it's a classic yeah i'm glad we watched this film matt i'm so glad we watched it yeah it does yeah it's like out of our 10 horror films because what do we do after these 10 films do we do more horror or do we go straight into like foreign films or some [ __ ] i don't know i need a break man yeah so what did you think about the uh the shine and what would you rate it would you go as far as nine out of ten would you read it in a little bit do you think it was better than the exorcist i don't feel like i can't ever watch the shining again it's one of them yeah i wouldn't watch it i imdb 8.4 i'm so glad i didn't watch it by myself i'll be interested to know if anybody has any negatives about the film oh yeah who hates and i think i i would think that the most the hate comments will probably be related to it's not the same as the book the books much better anyway cinema rules cinnamon rolls the shiny rules um yeah so subscribe like give it a like give it a share let us know what your rating is and we'll see you in the next video who knows what that video will be it's my turn it's your turn wait are you going to start off a new nintendo
