"Do you have the slightest idea what a moral and ethical principle is? Do you?"

Welcome back, Mr. Torrence! Jack Nicholson leaves an indelible mark on cinema though Steven King's haunting novel within the snowed in confines of the Overlook Hotel. Stanley Kubrick's slow zoom in style with minimal dialog freezes the viewer and dares you to flinch. Shelly Duvall holds Wendy together as best as possible until there is no turning back while little Danny and his finger friend Tony simultaneously breed sympathy and terror. REDRUM REDRUM! All work and no play scared me in the theater in 1980 and on my couch in 2011. I'm not going to hurt you.. Many of us think of this horror story about Jack going mad, while others see a conspiracy of multitude, hence the opening quote.... This is the catharsis of the film and not to be overlooked.
