H.E.R. Reveals The Shining as Her Horror Masterpiece and Favorite Movie of All Time

A favorite horror film

Asked to name her favorite scary movie on Collider Ladies Night, H.E.R. chose The Shining. She told Perri Nemiroff, “It's actually my favorite movie of all time.” H.E.R. said she likes horror, while noting that some types are off limits for her. She described herself as enjoying only certain horror films.

Her plans behind the camera

H.E.R. has previously directed the documentary The Makings of Curtis Mayfield, which explored the musician’s influence through conversations with figures including Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige and Tom Morello. She has also said she hopes to direct a narrative feature.

In her conversation with Nemiroff, H.E.R. said a psychological thriller was on her bucket list. She imagined a scary film built around uncertainty, rather than gore or demonic themes.

Open to a Flanagan partnership

Nemiroff raised the possibility of H.E.R. working with Mike Flanagan, whose credits include Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House. H.E.R. welcomed the idea, saying, “Let’s do it. That would be crazy.”

H.E.R. also praised Flanagan as “very twisted,” adding that she liked that quality. Her directorial plans remain a goal rather than an announced project.
