Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated The Shining (1980) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
After almost 40 years since its original release (damn now I do feel old!), this is still one of the best horror films of its time, maybe it’s not on par for the younger audiences that have gotten oversaturated with the CGI and gore, but The Shining is psychological masterpiece that has to bee seen on a big screen for the full effect.

Twisted
A True Masterpiece of Psychological Horror
I am sadly disappointed to see this film so unappreciated as I truly believe it is nothing less of a masterpiece. From the carefully painted scenes to the perfectly executed acting this film holds nothing but love in my heart as it captures the true twisted outlook of today's world, carefully balancing racial ideas that would make many uncomfortable while hiding themes throughout the whole picture that keeps you watching again and again. When this film first came out I went to see it three times unable to get enough of this twisted, psychological thriller. This film is not for the faint of heart or those who get uncomfortable at the mention of racial topics. This is a film for those who enjoy tackling hard topics and are unafraid to face the truly twisted truths of the world.

Sometimes science goes a little too far
Morgan is a psychological thriller about a secret program to develop bio-engineered "humans" for use as thinking, problem solving weapons. When things go wrong, they go very wrong, and it's up to the risk management team to determine if the project should continue.
I enjoyed the movie, though I think a longer film would have allowed for more character development. Just as I was really getting drawn into the story, the movie was over. With so many psychological thrillers, the ending is spoiled by being a little too obvious. This movie definately kept me guessing til the very end.
The cast was excellent, they just needed more story to really flesh-out the characters.
Would definately recommend.

Mystery Thriller Psychological Crime
Absolutely give it a go.
Contains spoilers, click to show
If you are not already acquainted with this series, and you are a fan of horror and/or psychological thriller fiction, this is an absolutely perfect place to start. It is written in parts, detailing Asakawa’s investigation of a set of mysterious murders and the discovery of a far greater curse. No part is so long as to drag on needlessly, though some are rather short.

This psychological horror movie was pretty good. Decent acting and cinematography. The storyline played out well enough, though quite a bit of it was unbelievable. That the kids went along with so much was hard to accept, but the villain was played well. It moved along rather slowly at first but heightened to a pretty intense climax. Overall, for my fellow horror/ thriller fans, this one is worth a watch!

This was an intellectual horror. Andrew Pyper did a good job working Paradise Lost by Milton into this novel. It almost makes me want to read the full text of the poem - but not quite.
If you are looking for a gory horror story, look elsewhere. While this does have a few icky moments, most of it is psychological.
Even after finishing it, I'm still wondering...
