The Shining
56Watch it awake.
Do not leave this on with a child. The hotel wants the father, and the family is not safe.
The review
Do not put this on if a small child is still awake in the house. A writer takes a winter caretaking job in an empty hotel and brings his wife and son. The hotel wants the father. The film is plain that the family is not safe with him, and the mother and the boy have to get out.
I will not describe the violence. The part to talk about afterward is the job. Caretaking sounds like steady work, keys, a closed building, a paycheck through the snow. It is also a man given a whole place while the two people who depend on him have no exit that does not go through him. Watch the mother. She is the one who still has somebody to get to the door.
Journal
Keep The Shining in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 56. Yours can differ.
The glance
Piety and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Gremlins
64 instead of 56
Gremlins is still a horror film, and it scores 64 instead of 56. What you gain is temperance: Cute is not a virtue.
