Movies like The Shining

The Conjuring draws fans into a haunted house narrative with a strong emphasis on atmospheric tension and character-driven fear. Like in The Shining, the supernatural plays a key role against a backdrop of familial dynamics.

The Others is a ghost story that relies on atmosphere and suspense over gore and jump scares, aligning with the chilling aesthetic of The Shining. Nicole Kidman's performance captures a similar sense of unraveling as Jack Nicholson's descent into madness.

While more slasher than psychological, A Nightmare on Elm Street shares the surreal, dream-like horror elements that fans of The Shining may enjoy, complete with a memorable and terrifying antagonist.

Based on Stephen King's own literature like The Shining, 1408 delves into the psychological horror of a cursed hotel room. This movie provides a labyrinth of the mind as it bends reality, much like the eerie corridors of the Overlook Hotel.

The Amityville Horror revolves around a family moving into a house with a dark past, similar to the Torrance family's experience in The Shining. The movie immerses viewers in a story of psychological decline and horror within homely walls.
