Description

Academy Award winner Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall star in director Stanley Kubrick's disturbing adaptation of Stephen King's blockbuster horror novel. When writer Jack Torrance (Nicholson)--who has a history of alcoholism and child abuse--takes a job as winter caretaker for a hotel high in the Rocky Mountains, he, his wife (Duvall) and their psychic young son will be isolated until spring. But once the first blizzard closes the road out, the accumulated power of evil deeds committed at the hotel begins to drive Jack mad. Now there may be no escape for his wife and son in this haunting madness, memory and family violence.

    This movie is one of my faves, as a high school girl, it’s not as scary as others described. But still creepy. And great.

    This is a classic horror film that’s not about jump scares, but rather the chilling isolation and feeling of being trapped in the Overlook with nowhere to go while changes slowly happen and the supernatural reveals itself … The acting is top notch, Jack Nicholson who happens to be named Jack in the movie gives a mind blowing performance! Shelly Duvall also does a great job … LOVE this film, one of the best mind twisting horror films ever made …

    The master of horror story telling (King) meets the film perfectionist (Kubrick) and you get the best horror film ever made. The story works on so many levels and the direction, cinematography works on numerous levels. Watch Room 231 on YouTube to eee all the details you wouldn’t notice unless you liked frame by frame at each shot. Then add backstory from the novel in there & you’ll understand why this is the greatest horror film made.

    The scenery is outstanding considering it’s an 80’s movie. The beginning might be a bit boring for some, but once the movie starts to build up momentum you can’t stop watching.Definitely recommend it.
