IT terrorises the children of Derry, feeding off their fear before devouring their souls. Can the Losers Club finally win?
Bridesmaids
The maid of honour and bridesmaids compete over who's the bride's best friend while threatening to destroy the life of an out-of-work pastry chef in the process.
*There's no denying that The Shining is one of the scariest films of all time. But even scarier is how Shelley Duvall managed to deliver such a believable performance. The truth is both shocking and controversial.
Apparently, behind the scenes, Stanley Kubrick mentally abused Shelley Duvall, asking the other actors and crewmembers not to talk to her and forcing her to be isolated on set. In fact, Duvall was put under so much stress that she was even forced to film 127 takes of the infamous baseball bat scene. While this paid off in creating a realistic sense of fear, Shelley Duvall never recovered from the exhaustion and abuse she experienced whilst filming The Shining. But to boycott the film would be a travesty on all the hard work she put into it, which is why we hope you enjoy the film from this different perspective.
