More than 40 years after its release, The Shining quotes prove that the scary horror movie is still as popular as ever for fans. Often regarded as a pioneering effort in the art-house horror movement that has come to define many modern releases in the genre, The Shining paved the way for increased narrative innovation and intellectual stimulation of horror at large. While Stanley Kubrick’s film altered several aspects of Stephen King’s novel, particularly The Shining‘s horrific ending, the acclaimed filmmaker, along with lead actors Shelley Duvall and Jack Nicholson, were able to create an original and captivating horror story in their own right.
