O filmu:
The Shining is a 1980 psychological horror film directed by Stanley Kubrick, co-written with novelist Diane Johnson, and starring Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, and Danny Lloyd. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King about a writer accepting the job of the caretaker at an isolated hotel for the winter with his family moving in as well. The son, who possesses psychic abilities, is able to see things in the future or past, such as the ghosts in the hotel, and as the hotel becomes snowbound the father becomes influenced by the supernatural presence in the haunted hotel, descending into madness and attempts to murder his wife and son. Unlike most films by Stanley Kubrick which saw a slow graduated release building on word-of-mouth reputation, The Shining was released in a manner more like a mass-market film, opening at first in just two cities on Memorial Day, and then a month later seeing a nationwide release (including drive-ins) after extensive television advertising. Although initial response to the film was mixed, later critical assessment has been more favorable and The Shining is now viewed as a classic of the horror genre and its iconic and surreal imagery has become deeply embedded throughout popular culture.
Plot:
A man, his son and wife become the winter caretakers of an isolated hotel where Danny, the son, sees disturbing visions of the hotel's past using a telepathic gift known as "The Shining". The father, Jack Torrance, is underway in a writing project when he slowly slips into insanity as a result of cabin fever and former guests of the hotels ghost's. After being convinced by a waiter's ghost to "correct" the family, Jack goes completely insane. The only thing that can save Danny and his mother is "The Shining".
