It seems that Jack Torrence isn't the only nutter still haunting The Overlook Hotel

This enjoyable documentary gives a bunch of nutters the chance to explain the hidden meanings they claim to have found in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. The result is a mix of the intriguing (possibly deliberate continuity mistakes) and the insane (it's really a hidden message from Kubrick explaining how he was responsible for faking the moon-landing footage) – and if nothing else it leaves you wanting to watch The Shining again. The anamorphic 1.78:1 picture and DD 5.1 audio are both fine, if limited by the quality of the varied source material.
