Stanley Kubrick directed this scary movie which is based on a book which was written by Stephen King. He used 1.3 million feet of film to make this movie. Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) who is a writer got a job as a caretaker at an old big hotel which is near top of a mountain in Colorado during winter. It's not a big problem for Jack, his wife, Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and his son Danny (Danny Lloyd) to be isolated at the old big hotel. However, the hotel is haunted. There was a horrible murder in winter in 1970. A man who was also hired as a caretaker at the hotel got a Cabin fever and killed his wife and 2 girls. When Jack and his family get to the hotel on the closing day of the hotel, they meet a black chef, Mr. Hallorann (Scatman Crothers) who has a strange power to communicate with someone without talking or writing. He calls it `shining'. He finds out that Danny also has this power. When Danny asks him about Room 237, he tells him to stay away from the room. Jack tries to work hard on writing, but he just can't make it. Then his mind goes crazy. Finally, he starts to attack his family.
