It's bad enough to have an abusive alcoholic dad who breaks your arm. It's worse when he's doing everything in his power to chop you up with an ax. You use your psychic abilities to call for help, but your savior gets taken out the moment he arrives. If the adult world can't help you, to whom can you turn?
Any kid out there with mean fathers ought to steer clear of The Shining. The only thing worse than being hunted by someone in your own family is having visions of twins who throw rivers of blood at you, and the kid in this film has both. It also has Jack Nicholson making out with a hideous old hag, which is simply not a safe sight for childhood.
On top of all that: the Furry scene.
