Question: what happens to jack torrance in the shining?
Answer: In the 1980 film, Jack (Jack Nicholson) froze to death after he chased Danny into a hedge maze and became trapped. ... Jack's final fate in the 1997 film was more true to the novel. Unlike the 1980 film, Jack's redemption was "rewarded" of sorts when a full grown Danny is seen graduating from a school.
