15) The Shining (1980)

For those who reveled in the eerie atmosphere, slow-burning tension, and mind-bending fear of Robert Eggers' Nosferatu, The Shining (1980) is an essential watch. Directed by the visionary Stanley Kubrick, this film immerses the audience in the psychological abyss of isolation. Jack Nicholson's iconic portrayal of Jack Torrance drives the slow burn of his character’s madness, gradually consumed by the sinister force within the hotel. This is more than a ghost story; it’s a chilling journey into the depths of insanity.
