Tracking shot: The Shining

In this shot the camera is low which allows us to feel as if we are at the same level as the character in the scene. As he turns each corner so do we neither him or the viewers knowing what will be there. The viewers knew they were going into a horror film this tracking shot makes the viewers nervous and uneasy. It’s too quiet and too peaceful. When he turns the corner what is going to be there?
