TW discussion of sexual abuse

[(Anonymous)]

For me, the film took on absolutely another level of creepiness when I watched a very interesting cinematographic analysis video summarising the theory that most of the supernatural occurrences are an allegory for sexual abuse happening in the family. It makes a *lot* of sense.

I mean....Jack is abusive, if not sexually. like literally abusive. he breaks danny's arm and that is part of the catalyst to move. it's not as explicit in the movie, but abuse is the catalyst for moving to the hotel.

Re: TW discussion of sexual abuse

Definitely, I don't mean to imply he wasn't - the hotel pretty much preyed on/magnified something that was already there in the book. That being said, I do not think there was any ambiguity to the supernatural occurrences in the book, whereas the film does lend itself to this interpretation and that makes Jack a different character in book and film, imo (although certainly abusive in both versions).

All I meant in the above comment is that, personally, there being a possible unspoken layer of sexual abuse is what made the film frightening for me and cast some scenes in a much creepier light (the interview with Danny's therapist, Wendy seeing the ghosts of the hotel director and the man in the dog suit at the end, for example).
