  • Hallorann’s bedroom paintings and bachelor decor are celebrated, with questions about positioning and a pillow beneath his feet.
  • The mirror’s murder reversal and Danny’s eerie alternate voice remain effective.
  • Grady’s euphemism of correcting his family is chilling.
  • The maze, casting of the twins and Nicholson’s drooling commitment are praised.
  • The hotel’s exteriors and constructed interiors are admired; the panel would stay at the location.
  • The repeated instruction to check the Snowcat and radio inspires enthusiastic impressions.
  • The Steadicam is praised for ghostlike movement behind Danny, with Garrett Brown and earlier uses in Bound for Glory, Rocky and Marathon Man discussed.
  • One ranking puts the bedroom first, Steadicam second and Big Wheel third; the other responses favor Steadicam.
