Description
The Shining is a horror movie based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King. Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) takes a job as an off-season caretaker at the Overlook Hotel in Colorado. Soon after moving in, he starts to become mentally unstable and starts to kill people. The movie is based on the novel and is also a remake of the 1980 movie of the same name.
Stanley Kubrick directs this chilling adaptation of the Stephen King shocker. Seeking solitude in order to write a novel, Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) takes a job as an off-season caretaker at the remote Overlook Hotel in Colorado. Eager to get started, Jack disregards warnings that the isolation drove a former caretaker mad, and moves into the massive resort with his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and son Danny (Danny Lloyd). But Danny has a supernatural gift which makes him aware of an evil lurking in the hotel, and sure enough, as winter storms cut the hotel off from civilisation, Jack gradually becomes murderously insane.
