The Shining(1980)

8.2/10

dir. Stanley Kubrick

S-Tier

The 4K transfer delivers what HDR was supposed to do for horror. Room 237 has this sickly green cast that was always in the film but only became visible at this resolution, and the hotel hallway tracking shots have depth the old Blu-ray flattened.
