Uddrag
In the scene (36:34 -38:21) Danny is driving around on his tricycle and then he sees the two twins again. They also appeared in (21:30-22:01), when he was playing dart in the playroom. His facial expression changes this time, and he, for the first time in the movie, looks scared.

The twins are, again, standing hand in hand saying that they want to play with him. Now the movie is switching around the two girls happy and the two girls chopped. It is an example on obsessive thoughts, because he gets a picture of how the father killed them back them.

The voice in his head, Tony, is telling him that he should remember what mr. halloran said: “It isn’t real.” It’s like he tried to avoid the unknown in the beginning, but now he starts to realize that here actually is something evil at the hotel.

In the scene (1.20:41-1.23:00) Danny is alone in another room, but he can still feel and hear the unpleasant conversation going on between his mom, Wendy, and his dad, Jack. They moved to the hotel in the beginning, because Jack got a new job as an attendant.

He is an old alcoholic with a bad temper, but he would use the winter to get back on track and get his play done. In this movie he is the antagonist, because his character is chasing in a bad way. The scenes are switching between their conversation and Danny sitting and acting lost.

He is getting a flashback to the door standing “REDRUM” and a lot of blood flowing through the hallway. In the background of these pictures Jack’s voice is playing kinda slowly and scary.

He is saying that they should discuss, that they should do about him. In this movie Danny and the viewers realize, that “REDRUM” actually stands for “Murder” backwards.

The movie is showing that something bad is going to happen, and it has something to do with Jack.
