The Shining Part 1
I have seen this movie before and can tell you that if you don't like horror, it's only going to get worse from here. We haven't seen a thing in class yet. Up to this point, I would say the scariest part would be when Danny is biking around the hotel and finds room 237. The scary part isn't when he arrives at the room but rather when he is biking through the hallway. Eerie music picks up as Danny rides through the hall which would normally just slightly build until something horrifying pops up. The music and the fact that the audience can't see around the corner before each of Danny's turns adds to the suspense that anything can come up. This sequence had happened once before with nothing coming out of it, so the audience is forced to believe that something will happen this time. Kubrick keeps the audience on the edge of its seats again.
I agree. The entire film is essentially a sequence of suspenseful moments which do a great job of fooling the audience. This sets up the scary moments, such as Danny actually running into something horrible around the corner, perfectly.
