VIDEO: This Shining parody is the weirdest, most brilliant thing you’ll see today

What the f*ck did we just see?

Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is of course a masterpiece of cinema. The 1980 release is critically acclaimed for its thrilling tempo, unsettling plot and masterly cinematography. Each scene is a perfectly composed masterpiece. The Chickening, a short film that parodies the iconic movie, is daft, twisted, immature and quite brilliant. Perhaps not to everyone's taste, the 5 minute creation by animators Nick DenBoer and Davy Force is a tour de force in twisted surrealism. There's no point in us explaining the video - it's simply too weird. But there's a gravel-voiced child with facial hair, a chicken-obsessed Jack Nicholson, and a few NSFW scenes so be warned... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i17pORf_iE4
