2.The Shining


Next on the list is legendary director Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's novel The Shining.

This film is one of the most iconic, haunting and overall terrifying movies ever made, using some amazing imagery and truly disturbing visions to create one of the true greats in the horror genre.

The scene with the blood flowing from the elevator is visually stunning and memorable.


Equally memorable is the scene where Jack Nicholson chops his way through the door and yells the now famous words - “Heeeeeeerrrees Johnny!”

Nicholson is superbly cast and gives an unforgettable performance in one of his best ever roles.

All that is left to say is that if you have not seen this film it is a must watch, I'm not sure a novel has ever been made into a film quite this well.
