Room 237 is taking a deeper look into the hidden meanings behind one of the most terrifying horror classics of all time. The 1980 Stanley Kubrick film The Shining became more than just a horror movie to fans.

Room 237 is a film directed by Rodney Ascher. Ascher seeks to explore the hidden messages behind the Kubrick film. Fans can see parallels to the Holocaust and the slaughter of the Native American's in Kubrick's The Shining.

Based on a Stephen King novel of the same name The Shining is about a recovering alcoholic Jack Torrance, his wife and their son Danny. Torrance is made the caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, which is located somewhere near a North American mountain retreat.

The family moves into the isolated and almost abandoned hotel and begin to experience paranormal activity centered on the hotel's Room 237. Fans of the 1980 horror classic believe that the film is more than just a film.

Movie fanatics are convinced that every line of dialogue, every painting on the wall and every costume the actors wore contained hidden codes about life, society, war and human nature.

According to the BBC specific codes woven into the fabric of the film include, the genocide of the American Indian, the Nazi Final Solution and "even an admission the 1969 Moon Landing was faked."

There are countless websites and forums devoted to subliminal messages found in The Shining. Filmmaker Rodney Ascher and Tim Kirk explore these ideas in their film Room 237.

In Room 237 Ascher interviews a University Professor from Michigan. Professor Cooks has written a book titled "The Wolf at the Door: Stanley Kubrick, History and the Holocaust." In his book and his interview for the film Room 237 Professor Cooks constantly refers to Kubrick's use of the number 42.

Professor Cook and Room 237 filmmakers believe the number 42 is a reference to the Nazi mass genocide of the German Jewish people.

The number 42 is significant to the Holocaust because in 1942 Nazi officials held a conference to discuss the plan for the mass killing of all European Jews. In the film The Shinning the number 42 appears on Danny's t-shirt and while the TV is playing.

Room 237 director Roger Ascher also interviewed journalist Bill Blakemore who points out evidence the film is condemning the massacre of the Native Americans.

The BBC reports, "Blakemore's evidence includes an explanation early on in the film that the Overlook was built in 1907 on an Indian burial ground. In 1907 the name Indian Territory, an area of land where the US government relocated North American indigenous people, changed to Oklahoma."

Room 237 hit select movie theaters on March 29.
