A classic of horror cinema and one of the most important film adaptations of Stephen King's work, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is a mesmerizing study of the descent into madness within the walls of an isolated, deserted mountain hotel. Jack Torrance, along with his wife and 5-year-old son, Dany, moves into the Overlook Hotel, taking on the winter care of the desolate property. Unaware of the dark forces lurking in its corridors, he attempts to devote himself to work on his book, only to sink deeper into madness with each passing day.
