"The Shining" as a suspense movie I believe it is excellent, but as a horror movie it is definitely a bad movie

As a veteran horror lover, whenever I see a good horror movie, I get a sense of excitement (yes, being able to scare my heart will make me excited), especially the horror type, but The Shining is completely It didn't give me this feeling. As far as the public's evaluation is concerned, I think that most of the audience may have misunderstood the definition of horror film. It is true that his professional and ingenious camera language and narrative style made me feel depressed and disgusted. But he can't make me excited, so as a horror film, I think he is really unsuccessful. Many people say that they need to savor and understand the background, but the focus of horror films is not here , I can only say that you literary youth Guys, you really misunderstood the type definition of The Shining, and giving one star is not a contempt for "The Shining", but I hope that all non-horror fans will not advertise it as the most terrifying film, he is really a classic suspense movie
