From a script he co-adapted from the Stephen King novel, Kubrick melds vivid performances, menacing settings, dreamlike tracking shots and shock after shock into a milestone of the macabre. In a signature role, Jack Nicholson ("Heeeere's Johnny!") plays Jack Torrance, who's come to the elegant, isolated Overlook Hotel as off-season caretaker with his wife (Shelley Duvall) and son (Danny Lloyd). Torrance has never been there before - or has he? The answer lies in a ghostly time warp of madness and murder.

This is a classic horror film director by the legendary Stanley Kubrick starring Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall and Danny Lloyd. I was so absorbed in this film more than most horror films that one see's these days. The screenplay, the somewhat Avant-Garde music and the unique camera techniques make this not only a dramatic masterpiece but also a technical one. If you're a fan of films with insane characters, this one's for you.
