The Shining
slightly similar to the shining
"your all a bunch of retards
My boyfriend kept saying "The Shining" over and over while we were watching it.
Buffy: "Alright, I get it. You're evil. Do we have to chat about it all day?" -Amends
I don't get it "the Shining" reference. The same reference was on Netlfix. How exactly is this "similar" or "in the same vein"?
OK - crazy main character is a writer, check....Isolated house, check. Question as to whether the building is haunted or not, check. Previous dwellers murdered, check. Visions of past dead peeps, check.
Similarities end. It wasn't homage. Cinematography was different. Feel was different. Story was too different.
For me, the similarities were less in what you listed, and more in the husband's behavior. He and his wife start out pretty normal, in love, etc., and for some reason, he just starts to become more and more detached from reality until he goes completely crazy.
