Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel. Frustrated
writer Jack Torrence (Jack Nicholson) takes a job as winter caretaker
in a remote mountain hotel so he can write in peace. He takes his
wife Wendy and son Danny with him.
The outgoing manager of the hotel tells Jack how a previous caretaker
went mad and murdered his family. Jack doesn't see this as a problem
but Danny's 'shining' creates hallucinations and time warps.
Danny cruises the empty corridors on his tricycle, seeing apparitions
of the murdered family, and Jack's sanity is soon affected.
Then, of course, there was the whole thing with the axe...
