    Multiple viewings are essential. This film is a trap. A mirror that you can't see. Eventually it will own you. The Overlook hedge maze is a metaphor for the viewers' (your) own psychological makeup. Can you find your way to the center? Can you find your way out afterwards? Do you even want to?

    Kubrick's masterpiece of modern horror is disturbing and impeccably crafted. A labyrinth of fascinating complexity. The greatest horror film ever made.
