The Shining (1980) - Reaction *FIRST TIME WATCHING* 

The little boy (Danny Lloyd) wasn’t traumatizes at all. He actually had a good time filming the movie and didn’t see the finished result until he was much older. He didn’t stay in acting but he is an incredibly well-adjusted adult who teaches biology at a nursing college.

Shelly Duvall who played Wendy was BRUTALLY harassed by director Stanley Kubrick to create tension and fear in her performance. He was unapologetic and cruel to her. She had major anxiety problems after the fact.

Jack Nicholson going crazy is the best thing ever.

The little boy playing Danny didn't have any kind of post-trauma issues after making this movie. The director was careful to be sure the kid didn't see the scarier parts of the movie, and the kid didn't even know it was a horror movie. They did several takes, having him play the scene happy, sad, angry, scared, etc., then used the takes where he was playing scared.

fun fact: the book version of wendy actually stands up to jack and is more independent. so jack nicholson (jack torrance) wanted jessica lange (from the ahs series) to play wendy instead of shelly duvall because he thought they would go more in that direction. but stanley kubrick (director) thought wendy being weak would make her staying with jack "make more sense" or whatever. so this is what we got instead🥲

I feel so bad for Shelly Duvall. 1980's 'The Shining' is still one of the best horror movies ever made.

This movie suffered a lot of production problems, as Stanley Kubrick had shot some scenes over 50 times to get it right, Shelly Duvall lost most of her hair during filming, a fire broke out at Elstree Studios, Duvall got into arguments with Kubrick, Jack Nicholson slept on the floor between scenes, and Stephen King hated working with Stanley Kubrick and didn't like the final cut of the movie.

Y'all got me laughing with the way the mother was running with the knife. 😂

Yes!!! Oh please do 'Carrie' (1976) soon!! The original Stephen King film adaptation and still one of the very best xxx

The mom is the one who was traumatized by doing this film haha

Watch its sequel Doctor Sleep. It's really good.

😂😂😂😂 The things you guys say kills me. "Stop tiptoeing," " she is the worst mother ever" 😂😂😂😂 i can't

The first R rated movie my dad let me watch! I was about 12 and it was on cable. Turned my head on the bathroom scene (nudity) but man my eyes were glued for the rest of the movie. Been hooked on horror flicks ever since! Although I was bummed Scatman Crothers died in the movie. Just a few years earlier he was the voice of my favorite Saturday Morning Cartoon character. Hong Kong Phooey!!!

Just watched your sleep away camp reaction and had a fun time!! Every time that guy said “that’s camp” I was dead! New sub 🙌

I like the way you are showing the video. Keep up the great work!!!

1. Joe Turkel/Lloyd plays Tyrell in the original Bladerunner (Hint Hint) 2. "Here's Johnny" was adlib by Nickelson. 3. It took 117 takes for Jack to chop through the door. He used his voluntary firefighting skills to get through all the takes. 4. The reason King didn't like this adaptation of the movie is because he didn't like the changes Kubrick made. This thing was remade just for King and although the remake was more in line with the book IMVHO it wasn't as good as this one. He has recently come around and accepted this version. 5. Nichelson and Scatman worked together before in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". 6. Shelly Duvall said making this movie was the worst experience in her life. She was harassed on and off screen. 7. GOOF: They would have made more than enough money to keep the roads open if they had it open for skiing. 8. The real villain is the hotel itself. 9. Watch Dr. Sleep. Danny is an adult and many of the loose ends well be cleared up.

This was fun watching this movie with you guys! I've seen lots of reaction videos for this movie, but she's the only person ever to notice the pictures on the wall in the BEGINNING of the movie! :D I think SHE has the shining!!!! :D He's right, the movie was terrifying back in the day. Still is! Spooky as hell!

five minutes in.... and the extreme terror on the faces .... it really does give my joy

It seems like in those older years women didn't physically defend themselves in movies. I saw an Alfred Hitchcock film and the lady let herself be strangled like she didn't want to offend the killer. I wonder how real that was to real life.

There are a lot of ways to interpret what's going on in this movie. I place a lot of importance on what Hallorann told Danny about the shining. It's an ability that some people have. It allows you to see what Hallorann called traces, which I think obviously means ghosts, in the hotel. Danny has immense shining power, we know this because he can contact Hallorann from far away. The hotel, using Grady to talk to Jack, also refers to Danny's 'talent'. We know the hotel absorbs people who die there, like Grady, his daughters, and later Jack too. So if Danny dies there then the hotel gets his power. This is why the hotel uses Jack to try and kill Danny. Jack is vulnerable to manipulation due to being a recovering alcoholic who also has guilt from breaking Danny's arm.

Fun fact that Hotel is actually haunted and you can actually stay there for tourists

"Scream!? Who gonna hear him - his psychotic father or his clueless mother!?!"

The wife was in a abusive relationship. I Guess that's why she was "ACTING" the way she was in the movie. Very scared and nervous.....But She Was Still Dingy/Goofy Too..😆 lol!!

The girl in yellow is literally me watching horror movies. I'll start screaming at the main character and getting mad at the dumb decisions they make 😂 I love your reactions!

In the book Tony is future Danny trying to warn his younger self

I heard from a video I watched a while back that they had to do the bat scene 22:18 127 times and that she was so exhausted and dehydrated from crying that she nearly quit. That’s crazy bruh😭🤯 ps. 20:42 Jackson start doing this what y’all finna do😂☠️

“She was taking a nap !” 😭😭😭😭 Love It

Fire Channel 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Keep Going

The second he said I'll give up my soul for a drink of beer the hotel took him up on his offer.

12:20 😂 that reaction

Great reaction guys this a classic🔥🔥💯

Tony is an older version of Danny, He's only trying to help but is creepy as hell

😂😂😂You guys made me laugh👍👍👍

Oh nice to see this pop up while looking for reactions to this movie! 😁 Also, holy shit that old bathtub lady gave me nightmares for over a decade! 😰

Luvved your reaction, all... & oh my isn't that little baby so cute! 🤗😏😁

The shine will be explained more in the sequel doctor sleep

Cool videos guys!

26:28 I laughed my ass off 😂 Wendy always pissed me off too

Y'all had me weak af the whole time 🤣😂

Stephen King hates this movie. He has stated, “It was horrible, nothing like my writings or how I imagined it to be.” As a result, a remake was made in 1997, it was okay. Not a lot of people know that this movie has actually been remade already. It’s about a 3 hour, three part series that was made for television, but this remake captures exactly what King was trying to portray in his novel, and he likes this version much better. The remake is ENTIRELY different from this movie. The book itself is entirely different from this movie. This was Kubrick’s vision, not Kings.

"Run them bitches over!" lol A new twist I never considered. 🤣

Jurassic world dominion is on it's way cant wait for that vid, when it releases next year.

13:16 “Run them bitches over!”……….With a Tricycle? Lmao 😂

Watch Dr Sleep. it might give you some of the Answers y'all looking for.

Fun fact : there’s a fan theory that pennywise is affecting the hotel .

Lmaooo pure entertainment I love y’all reaction especially Dallas 😂😂😂 her reactions never Fails

Aww look at that sweet wittle baby!

5:44 RIP Shelley Duvall.😢🎥

If you guys do a Stephen King marathon, would love to see the Mist. Its the only horror movie besides Halloween that I've had nightmares about.

The "Here's Johnny!" line was improvised. Nicholson had to convince Stanley Kubrick to leave it in.

Y’all React To: Bones (2001) The Hateful Eight (2015) Double Jeopardy (1999) Eve’s Bayou (1997) The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (1992) Please Y’all 🙌🏿

First as always great reaction an some of your . Theories on point on some of it but fun facts first. Jack Nicholson if I remember correctly was a volunteer firefighter. So first they had light weight doors for him to. Chop through with the axe but he took them down to easy . So they had to switch to normal thick doors . They also made sure to keep it secret. That it was a horror movie around the child actor who played Danny . So he had no idea he was in a Horror movie. The only one that needed therapy after the movie was . The actress that played Windy because to make her metal breakdown . Look real the director harassed her an had everyone treat her like she was a nobody and a nothing . By the end of filming she practically had a nervous breakdown . Her hair was literally falling out . She said in a interview about the movie. But she didn't hold it against the director . Here's the thing about the hotel mainly it was built on a Indian burial ground . Side note that always ends well not. So the hotel is it's own living thing. The ghost are peaple that meant a unfortunate end before their time . There so that's whare their spirit is currently staying . They are separate entities from the hotel . The blood from the elevators that's a hotel thing not a ghost thing. There is a connection with the hotel an the shinning . That's all I will say on that Doctor Sleep covers that. Now about The dad there's some theories about that . Especially the end the one that has some evidence in the movie is . He was the caretaker back when the picture was taken. But he got reincarnated the in movie evidence . Is when he said it's like he had been there before. He knows what's behind every corner. So that kinda hints at the reincarnation theory . A nother one is he also had some degree of the shinning. That would explain why he could see the ghost. About why at the end when the mom could see. Every thing that goes back to the connection to the hotel and the shinning.

Uhh, the director is Stanley Kubrick? Who is Duane Odell Knox lol

Very interesting movie, keep shining y’all!

There's been some strange goings on at that hotel. Jack Nicholson in his zone. Shelley Duvall just trying to stay alive. Danny and Tony in a great performance for a boy and his finger. Scatman Crothers wished his Snowcat would've broken down. Grannies coming, lock the door. Enjoyed watching this with y'all . 👍😄❤️

Best snowed-in movie.

Nice reaction where the guy in the middle disappear for half the movie LOL Edit: And replaced by a phone LMAOO Edit2: And come back yawning ahahahaha Edit3: I was planning so many edits... I just give up

Villain: I would choose to be Doctor Doom because he rules a country, extremely intelligent, and he master both science and magic. 💪

hello I've been binge watching movies with you three 😊😁 after recently becoming a new follower but may I recommend a couple ghost movies that you might take much interest in would be the movie Thirteen Ghosts and the movie Ghost Ship really enjoy your three's one out of two of my favorite movies reaction channels

No therapy in 80’s Britain

You totally called the 'GTFO' moment 🤣

Duck Halloran doesn't die in the book 👍

Jack nicholson was a trainee fire fighter when he was much younger and knew how to swing an axe and because of this they went through 47 doors on the axe scene. 🪓 🚪

It was Charles Grady who killed his family and himself in 1970. So Jack couldn't have been the literal reincarnation of him, because he was born before Charles died. He talked to Delbert Grady in the bathroom. Notice the twins also had English accents and wore old-fashioned dresses. So they weren't the girls killed in 1970. I think Delbert Grady is the Overlook Hotel. That's why he has always been there. Any person can be sucked into the Hotel and become The Caretaker. Jack was unstable to begin with, so his going insane was quick. Also notice Delbert said "we" are disappointed in you just before he let him out of the pantry. Who are the others...all of the murdered people? Since Delbert is the Hotel, he can open doors. There are a lot of deliberate inconsistencies like saying he injured Danny and quit drinking 3 years ago...another time it was 5 months ago. There are a lot of things in the movie to confuse the viewer. PS the woman in the bathtub was a suicide from back in the day.

😃 “F You…F everybody!” Loved this reaction.

Now you gotta watch doctor sleep the directors cut it’s great and it’s stuff that wasn’t cut out and it’s a fantastic sequel

Now for something you will never get out of your head once you think about it. Close your eyes and imagine you are watching E.T. Now listen to Danny's voice when he is talking as Tony.

26:27 🤣🤣

Villain- Harley Quinn, cuz she's crazy lol. snakes and I have a fear of shakes

Everyone who watches the film for the first time mocks and ridicules the mother's actions. Her husband and the father of her son go into a state of madness, and supernatural things happen at the hotel. What do you expect your reaction would be if you were in her place?

Should do Doctor Sleep soon.

you guys should react to "IT" Chapter 1(2017) and 2(2019)

It used to not, but the part where he kills Halloran makes me tear up.

Do you guys watch guilty pleasures or so bad its good? If so, do them.

Oh please watch and react to “Slither”..

1 2 freddy coming for you 3 4 better lock your door… 5 6

"This is a nice hotel home Michael" Me: ummm I'm sorry what no no no no people died or go missing in the overlook hotel so I'm leaving and I already paid my departure from here (getting car keys and getting in Mercedes Benz starting the engine) Overlook Hotel female employee: sir please u can do something for me I'm really feisty Me: nope (driving away and never come back and end credits screen turns black) 👀👀👀👀

Yeah the actor Danny didn’t even know he was filming a horror movie. He just thought he was filming a regular movie ❤️ & The actress who played as Wendy was actually harassed during filming and was terrified because the director wanted her fear to be real. Shelly Duvall has told the story many times, and it never changes. The scene where Shelly was walking up the stairs holding the bat, you can tell how tired she was. Stanley kept making them re do the scene over and over again, which is understandable, but he didn’t let the adults take breaks, and Shelly’s hair would fall out during filming, and she looked very tired. It’s a great movie, I just don’t like the behind the scenes stuff that happened to mainly Shelly. Stephen King got the inspiration to write The Shining when he was staying at the Stanley Hotel (which is actually haunted.) Stephen King was staying in the most haunted room (217), and had a nightmare that his son was being chased down the halls by a hose, & when he woke up, he went outside on the balcony, smoked a cigarette, and started writing The Shining.

You guys should react to Midsommar

20:56 wouldn’t be surprised if that was true. When it comes to Horror movies, child actors are almost never that convincing, if at all. And giving everything that was actually going on in the making of this movie, I actually wonder what they told or even did to Danny (which is his name in real life to for those who don’t know).

next the sequel; DOCTOR SLEEP!
