"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" -- or, rather, a homicidal boy in Stanley Kubrick's eerie 1980 adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel. With wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and psychic son Danny (Danny Lloyd) in tow, frustrated writer Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) takes a job as the winter caretaker at the opulently ominous, mountain-locked Overlook Hotel so that he can write in peace. Before the Overlook is vacated for the Torrances, the manager (Barry Nelson) informs Jack that a previous caretaker went crazy and slaughtered his family; Jack thinks it's no problem, but Danny's "shining" hints otherwise. Settling into their routine, Danny cruises through the empty corridors on his Big Wheel and plays in the topiary maze with Wendy, while Jack sets up shop in a cavernous lounge with strict orders not to be disturbed. Danny's alter ego, "Tony," however, starts warning of "redrum" as Danny is plagued by more blood-soaked visions of the past, and a blocked Jack starts visiting the hotel bar for a few visions of his own. Frightened by her husband's behavior and Danny's visit to the forbidding Room 237, Wendy soon discovers what Jack has really been doing in his study all day, and what the hotel has done to Jack.

This Is The Worst Movie Ever I Hate That Movie So Very Much Like Stephen King It's Nothing Like Stephen King's Novel But The Mini Series Version By ABC Is Much Better Because It's Based On The Novel by Stephen King And They Need To Cancel the Doctor Sleep Movie And Do ABC's Doctor Sleep Mini Series But I Do Like The Other Stanley Kubrick Movies But Not The Shining So Thank you And Goodbye

Cult Classic from Stephen King,an out of work writer finds employment at a closed for the winter holiday resort as a caretaker,his behaviour progressively deteriorates toward his family as the "Overlook Hotel"takes on a life of its own.A gripping,psychological film that will have you peeking from behind the cushions!
