The film today stands as one of the finest of the horror genre for its great performances and direction by Stanley Kubrick. The story detailed the descent into madness of a writer who takes on the job of caretaker of the vacant Overlook Hotel through a severe Colorado winter. The 1980 film was based on the Stephen King book of the same name.
Newsweek called The Shining "the first epic horror film," full of indelible images, and a signature role for Nicholson whose character was recently selected by AFI as one of their 50 Greatest Villains.The Shining is one of the greatest horror films of all time. Master filmmaker Stanley Kubrick's visually haunting chiller, based on the bestseller by master-of-suspense Stephen King, is an undeniable contemporary classic. Torrance has never been there before-or has he? The answer lies in a ghostly time warp of madness and murder. Nicholson plays Jack Torrance, who's come to the elegant, isolated Overlook Hotel as off-season caretaker.
