In The Shining, when the family is being given a tour of the hotel fairly early in the movie, they get shown the walk in fridge. There is a shot of the door to the fridge from the hallway and then a cut to a shot from the back of the fridge looking toward the door. The hinges are on opposite sides between the two shots. Immersion ruined.

    This might be a simple goof, but a lot of the layout in The Shining (intentionally) doesn't make any sense. There's some great analysis of the insane architecture of the hotel.

    Yeah! Someone else mentioned this, and I knew it was a bit of a thing. I also know that a lot of the film was shot on location, so I’m curious if the shot was actually flipped, or maybe one of the shots was done on a set, not in the actual fridge. I read/watched some stuff about the intentional discontinuities in The Shining but this one has never been mentioned as far as I know.

    Flipping shots gets done far too often in movies. I remember a particularly egregious one in one of the Harry Potter movies where all the text on the blackboard behind a teacher was mirrored lol.
