    The Shining (1980)

    This week on The Killer Point Of View Podcast, we return from Christmas break by stepping into the snow-covered halls of one of the most debated horror films of all time: Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. More than forty years later, The Shining still haunts audiences — but why? Is it the ghosts in the Overlook Hotel… or the slow decay of a marriage already breaking long before the snow begins to fall? In this episode, we explore the lasting impact of The Shining and ask the question that reframes the entire film: Is this a story about a haunted hotel… or a toxic relationship unraveling in isolation? We examine Wendy Torrance’s perspective — is she acting out of love, or is she simply trying to survive? At what point does devotion become self-erasure? And how does Jack’s descent reveal something far more terrifying than the supernatural? We break down: ​ Our favorite scenes​ The unforgettable “Killer Scene”​ The hidden messages buried inside Kubrick’s cold, calculated masterpiece​ 10 Killer Facts about the film’s production, casting, and legacy From the nearly year-long shoot… to the 900-ton snow maze… to the infamous “Here’s Johnny!” moment that required 60 doors… we uncover what makes this film as obsessive behind the scenes as it is on screen. Finally, we give you our Killer Point Of View — the deeper meaning we believe lives beneath the surface of the Overlook Hotel. Killer Question of the Week: Is love still considered love if you lose yourself trying to make someone else happy? Love might be the most dangerous thing in the room.

We dive into honorable mentions, break down our Top 10 horror films of 2025, crown our favorite movie of the year, and explain what made it rise above the rest. On the flip side, we call out our least favorite film and unpack exactly what went wrong. Next is our Quick Hits, including the most overrated and underrated horror movies of the year, the best and worst endings, strongest and weakest villains, kill of the year, and the scene that felt like the ultimate poster moment of 2025. We also debate which sub-genre dominated, which film deserves a sequel, and ask our Killer Question of the Week. We wrap things up by looking ahead—our most anticipated horror films of 2026, what the genre needs to do to keep this incredible run going, our plans for the top of the year, and when you can expect our next episode. Plus, a huge thank you to everyone who supported us throughout the year. It’s another killer year in horror—and we’re breaking it all down, one last time.
