The Shining (Special Edition)

Film Description

A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where an evil and spiritual presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from the past and of the future.

Either the greatest horror movie of the 80s, or a hilarious comedy of dysfunctionalism. Nicholson is brilliantly unglued as Jack Torrance, and camera and setting become almost characters in their own right. Stephen King hated the film, but its reputation flourishes. The kind of film that changes a little every time you watch it. Here's Johnny!
