Aspiring writer Jack Torrance travels to a remote Colorado hotel with his wife and son to take up the position of winter caretaker. In a place haunted by ghosts from the past, which his gifted son becomes all too aware of, Jack gradually loses his sanity. Kubrick’s ambition to make ‘the world's scariest movie’ was realised when he read Stephen King’s novel. The result, subject to years of critical discourse and re-evaluation, is as visually stunning as it is terrifying.
Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall deliver two of the most definitive performances in horror history in Kubrick's wintery psychological classic.
