Synopsis

In the decades since the film’s release, many The Shining devotees have claimed to have decoded the film’s secret messages. Cultists and scholars are interviewed to deconstruct Kubrick’s classic, addressing everything from the genocide of Native Americans to a range of government conspiracies.

MUBI's take

Rambling through the hedge-maze, entertaining the various conspiracies that circle around The Shining, Room 237 is above all, a well-intentioned tribute to the endurance of this classic and the sustained, eager attention that fans have met Stephen King’s novel and Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation.
