Sundance 2012: Room 237

KUER 90.1 | By Doug Fabrizio
Published January 24, 2012 at 4:34 PM MST

To some people, Stanley Kubrick's film THE SHINING set the standard for modern horror cinema. For others, it was the result of a talented filmmaker slacking off. And then there are the ardent fans convinced they've decoded the film's hidden messages of genocide, cabals and the nightmares of history.RodneyAscher and Tim Kirk made a film about these conspiracy theorists that investigates the act of criticism and what it means to be a fan. They'll join Doug on Wednesday to talk about ROOM 237.

  • Room 237 is part of the New Frontier category at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. It screens on Thursday 26 January at 11:30 p.m. at the Prospector Square Theatre in Park City, and again on Saturday 28 January at 9:15 p.m. at the Holiday Village Cinema in Park City. for more information on the film, visit the Sundance Film Festival web site.
