About this film
What it's about
Jack Torrance accepts a caretaker job at the Overlook Hotel, where he, along with his wife Wendy and their son Danny, must live isolated from the rest of the world for the winter. But they aren't prepared for the madness that lurks within.
Action Pick
A returning horror-thriller classic that plays huge on a big screen
Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is a returning classic, and Jack Nicholson's slow, menacing unraveling inside the isolated Overlook Hotel still hits with real force. It carries an 8.4 on IMDb and 84% on Rotten Tomatoes, and Kubrick's scale and framing were built for a theater. If you want dread, high stakes, and a payoff that earns the runtime, this is the one to catch.
