Movies The Shining

[HUGHPHUG]

The section were it gets close to the car must have been so hair raising helicopter flying.

I know man, it's RIGHT behind the car for a couple of seconds
Thank fuck no one came hurtling around that bend

The road was almost certainly closed but I'm guessing that shot might not have been attempted after the Twilight Zone deaths.

The opening does I think highlight one of the films biggest influences as well, the way the soundtrack becomes almost ambient noise, those almost animal screches at the start or the heartbeat in room 237.

Sound generally I think becomes a lot of the why the film is scary, something like Danny's bike shifting between the loud wooden sections and the soft carpeting really builds up the tension.
