What the f*ck did we just see?
Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining is of course a masterpiece of cinema. The 1980 release is critically acclaimed for its thrilling tempo, unsettling plot and masterly cinematography. Each scene is a perfectly composed masterpiece.

There’s no point in us explaining the video – it’s simply too weird. But there’s a gravel-voiced child with facial hair, a chicken-obsessed Jack Nicholson, and a few NSFW scenes so be warned…
