About this product

Product Information

Opening with spectacular aerial shots of a beautiful, mountainous landscape, Stanley Kubrick's horror classic THE SHINING sucks the viewer into his frightening tale with quiet, relaxing visuals--but the ominous soundtrack warns that all is not right at the gorgeous Overlook Hotel. Based on Stephen King's best-selling novel, the film stars Jack Nicholson at his eyebrow-raising best in his portrayal of Jack Torrance, a Vermont schoolteacher working at the Overlook as a winter caretaker. The glorious early-20th century resort only operates in warm weather because the snowy roads deny access in the colder months, so Jack brings his wife, Wendy (Shelley Duvall), with him, as well as his young son, Danny (Danny Lloyd), who possesses some unique psychic powers. As the Torrances settle in for the long, lonely months ahead, strange, unexplainable things start occurring in the hotel--and in every scene Jack seems to be growing a little more evil and dangerous....Cinematographer John Alcott (who also worked on BARRY LYNDON and A CLOCKWORK ORANGE) allows his Steadicam to float eerily through the deserted halls and corridors of the hotel, creating a creepy air of tension as Jack plummets into madness. Kubrick's obsessive eye for detail is prevalent throughout; the famous scene where Danny rides his toy buggy through the hotel is remarkable for Alcott's gliding camerawork and the desolate sound of the wheels alternately scraping across the hardwood and carpeted floors. Nicholson and Duvall are outstanding throughout, with both actors running the full gamut of human emotions as the film races towards a thrilling conclusion. Supplemented by an oddball cast of dead twin girls, suicidal ax-murdering ghosts, Scatman Crothers as the hotel cook, and many other weird and wonderful figures, Kubrick's film is a pulse-racing treat that is among the best in his inimitable body of work.

    Entertaining yet erie

    I have heard about The Shining movie for many years, so when I found it for a low price, I bought it. It is a good movie, except I didn't like the verbal abuse he gave to his wife and child. I know it's only a movie. I doubt I will watch it again. It wasn't as "good" as I had heard or expected. I give it 7 out of ten.

  • The Shining

    I heard this movie did good at box office. I find it good although I do not really understand it. Jack should got out of the hotel when he started feeling himself weird. He was informed that Mr. Grady chopped up his family at that hotel, so he should have been wise to that, and get out of the hotel when strange things started happening. And I do not understand what Mr. Grady told him in the bathroom that he was always the caretaker there. And the ending complicates things more showing Jack's picture with Overlook Hotel, and 1921 written under it. Jack's cussing spiced up things. Jack Nicholson's acting is exceptional. And you never know for sure if Tony is Danny's imaginary friend or something associated with the hotel or what. And at the beginning Wendy was ...

  • LITTLE BIG FILM

    This film ranks with THE EXORCIST in that the plot is kinda pointless and the drama is low-key for the most part, but the cinematography and overall atmosphere is something to watch if you want to watch a film as you would examine a painting; just watch...Nicholson's acting is a bit stiff compared to his energetic performance in BATMAN and the film itself is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long to add to any drama. The plot is rendered heartless due to its vision, but the vision(s) are very articulate. A good film, not a great film. I'd pay $6 or $7 just to have it around everytime I want to take in the images of this haunted house film.

  • A Kubrick Classic

    The Shining is Stanley Kubrick's vision of what he thinks the Stephen King novel should be. It stars Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall who are a married couple along with their son Danny who must caretake over a secluded summer resort in Colorado. The resort has had a violent past, with a former caretaker murdering his wife and two daughters before killing himself years earlier. Now Jack, Wendy (Duvall), and Danny must spend the next five months without any outside contact with the rest of the world. Cabin Fever slowly sets in, and the evil spirits of the hotel don't help Jack much either. Jack Nicholson does a marvelous job portraying this man who is hearing and seeing the former patrons and dwellers of the hotel, and is slowly heading towards insanity. When I first saw ...
