Conclusion

After doing all my research into the uncanny and the unheimlich I can come to the conclusion that The Shining successfully plays with the main key ideas of the uncanny and uses them for terror and creepiness over jumpscares you might see in films today. The use of location, the set, the cinematography and the soundtrack all play a part in pulling off an uncanny feel throughout the whole motion picture. So the next time you watch The Shining remember to look out for all these things, the location of The Overlook, the set not making sense geologically, the cinematography advances of the time and finally the soundtrack which plays with the expectations, everything to make this film uncanny.
