Cronenberg VS. Kubrick: The Battle Of The True Horror Mastermind

by Brad Rosenberg

Published July 12, 2017

“I think I’m a more intimate and personal filmmaker than Kubrick ever was,” Cronenberg told the Toronto Star. “That’s why I find The Shining not to be a great film. I don’t think he understood the [horror] genre. I don’t think he understood what he was doing. There were some striking images in the book and he got that, but I don’t think he really felt it.”

Cronenberg added: “In a weird way, though he’s revered as a high-level cinematic artist, I think he was much more commercial-minded and was looking for stuff that would click and that he could get financed. I think he was very obsessed with that, to an extent that I’m not.”
