10 Horror Movies That Put Insane Effort Into Details Nobody Noticed

All of Kubrick's work is laud for his meticulous, obsessional level of detail, in many cases driving his crew and actors to tears with his quest for perfection. Shelley Duvall came off the worst during the filming of The Shining, as Kubrick appeared to require a breakdown resembling that of the character she played.

While Kubrick was inducing tears and demanding over 200 takes, the rest of the production crew were making sure that the set of The Overlook Hotel met the meticulous requirements of Kubrick's vision.

However, according to film scholar Rob Ager, the corridors of the hotel are in fact spatially impossible, with windows existing where, according to the floor plan of the hotel, there should only be internal structures.

In particular, the window in Ullman's office and the Torrance's apartment shouldn't even exist in terms of the accepted architecture of the building. Concurrently, the doors on either side of the dreaded room 237 should lead to other guest apartments but when Danny enters 237 and heads left, the room interior clearly extends to the bedroom and further into a bathroom.

The explanation that perhaps the sets were inserted into a functioning hotel for spatial convenience to aid the production would go against everything we know abut Kubrick.

To literally cut corners seems contrary to everything we know about the director, so it seems to be an intentional way to subtly unnerve the audience's grasp on reality.
