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.

    Can See Why People View It As A Classic

    Multiple people have viewed this as a scary masterpiece regardless of the fact that it does not share the tone and faithfulness its source material has. And who can blame them? The source behind the scariness isn't explained. The tension is built before it's revealed. The set-ups are made. This film relies a lot more on tension and the setting up of it than it does on body counts or explaining away the supernatural happenings. Honestly, watching it is just so worth it. It's that excellent in every form, shape and way.

  • 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 this movie, ...

  • Good Price, Quality as Posted

    Been looking for this movie on tape for a bit to add to my collection, happened to find this one. The box is a bit damaged but hey, it's from the 90's, I didn't mind it. My only real complaint is the tape wasn't rewound, haha.

  • Always a classic

    The storyline, the setting, the cast, all are perfect for the tale of a haunted hotel. As the hotel starts to come alive, this family is in for some trouble! Stephen King is truly a master of imagination, suspense, and horror. The music really adds to the scare factor of the movie for some real frights. However, as usual the movie didn't do justice to the book at all. Soooo much was missing, if you want a truly good scare read the book. Hint: the ending is different in the book. But as for the movie, I have seen it several times and it still is a good scare.

  • The Shining

    “The Shining,” is the ultimate horror/suspense/drama masterfully directed by the brilliant Stanley Kubrick and starring Jack Nicholson (in a tour-de-force performance as Jack Torrance). Shelley Duvall gives an outstanding performance as Jack's imperiled wife, as does Danny Lloyd who plays Torrance's young son. This is the chilling story of the Torrance family's forced isolation, during a fierce winter in the sprawling Overlook Hotel, nestled in the Colorado mountains. Terrifying ghosts and images emerge from hidden rooms and passageways as the storm rages on. Days pass into weeks, and Jack's mental stability deteriorates into violence, threatening the lives of his wife and son. This heart-pounding film was adapted from Stephen King's novel of the same name. It is a screamingly good ...
