This Ikea Commercial Is A Spot-on Parody of Stanley Kubrick’s THE SHINING
There’s something really bizarre about walking through the Ikea showroom. On one hand, it’s really nice because it gives you a much better sense of the size of the furniture and how those pieces would look in the home or combined with other decor. But it’s also like walking through a rapidly changing, disjointed dream where nothing is functional, you can’t read names, and everything smells like meatballs. After watching this Ikea Halloween commercial, you’ll get an even more unsettling feeling the next time you peruse the mega furniture retailer. The commercial parodies Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, and they absolutely nail their version of that amazing tracking shot that follows Danny as he rides his tricycle through The Overlook Hotel. I've included the original scene below the commercial for comparison.
