THE SHINING

We’ve decided to embrace the recent snowpocalypse by screening The Shining!
Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) becomes winter caretaker at the isolated Overlook Hotel in Colorado, hoping to cure his writer’s block. He settles in along with his wife, Wendy (Shelley Duvall), and his son, Danny (Danny Lloyd), who is plagued by psychic premonitions. As Jack’s writing goes nowhere and Danny’s visions become more disturbing, Jack discovers the hotel’s dark secrets and begins to unravel into a homicidal maniac hell-bent on terrorizing his family.
The Shining is without a doubt one of the most iconic horror classics. Based on Stephen King’s novel, the picture is a complex character study, a thrilling thriller, and an amazing horror story all in one. With an out-of-this-world cast, The Shining remains a cult film that’s ideal for a cold winter evening.
