The Shining became a cultural phenomenon upon its release in 1982. One of the greatest Directors of our time, with the biggest Star, adapting an amazing novel by the KING OF HORROR this movie was on the way to greatness.
Stanley Kubrick takes an unorthodox approach to the horror genre and the public is the winner. Jack Nicholson is menacing in the lead role of Jack Torrence, the janitor that is slowly losing his mind.
Stephen King disowned this movie on it's release, believing that Kubrick butchered what most consider to be his best novel.
