11 Recut Movie Trailers That Will Totally Change Your Perspective

3. 'Shining'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmkVWuP_sO0 This recut trailer for The Shining does the total opposite of the previous entry, transforming an existing horror thriller into family-friendly entertainment. The brilliant Stephen King adaptation loses all its menace in an instant, thanks to obnoxiously uplifting music and a ridiculously upbeat voiceover. The impact of this recut trailer can be hard to shake when watching the early stages of the real film, and we're sure director Stanley Kubrick would be spinning in his grave after seeing this monstrosity. Best (or worst) of all, by cutting out the "The," the movie's title simply becomes "Shining." Aww.
