The Shining has lost its shine

– Kubrick was slumming it in a genre he despised

The director’s horror masterpiece deserves its cult status,

but now after its motifs have been quoted endlessly for years,

its thrills have worn thin

Academy Award winner Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall star

in director Stanley Kubrick's disturbing adaptation of Stephen King's

blockbuster horror novel.

When writer Jack Torrance (Nicholson)--who has a history of alcoholism and child abuse--

takes a job as winter caretaker for a hotel high in the Rocky Mountains,

he, his wife (Duvall) and their psychic young son will be isolated until spring.

But once the first blizzard closes the road out,

the accumulated power of evil deeds committed at the hotel begins to drive Jack mad.

Now there may be no escape for his wife and son

in this haunting madness, memory and family violence.
