The Shining
As an introductory lesson into the elements of thriller films we were shown the film adaptation of the Stanley Kubrick novel The Shining. There was a variety of elements that created suspense and tension throughout the film.

ack then begins to ki

This is a prime example of the skilled techniques used to illustrate Jack’s insanity but is very much thrilling and scary for the audience to watch.
