The Shining

Dir. Stanley Kubrick. 1980. 144 mins. U.S. 4K DCP. With Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers, Danny Loyd. Rivers of blood spew from an elevator. The ghosts of two girls beckon in a hallway. An axe blasts through a bathroom wall to get at the terrified woman inside. With remarkable performances by Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall, iconic set design, and groundbreaking Steadicam photography, Kubrick’s masterpiece of transcendent horror adapts Stephen King’s novel about Jack Torrance, an alcoholic writer driven mad while working as the caretaker of the cavernous Colorado hotel the Overlook over the course of one isolated winter. Simply put, this is one of the most aesthetically influential films ever made.
