Opening with spectacular aerial shots of a beautiful mountainous landscape Stanley Kubrick's horror classic THE SHINING sucks the viewer into his frightening tale with quiet relaxing visuals--but the ominous soundtrack warns that all is not right at the gorgeous Overlook Hotel. Based on Stephen King's best-selling novel the film stars Jack Nicholson at his eyebrow-raising best in his portrayal of Jack Torrance a Vermont schoolteacher working at the Overlook as a winter caretaker. The glorious early-20th century resort only operates in warm weather because the snowy roads deny access in the colder months so Jack brings his wife Wendy Shelley Duvall with him as well as his young son Danny Danny Lloyd who possesses some unique psychic powers. As the Torrances settle in for the long lonely months ahead strange unexplainable things start occurring in the hotel--and in every scene Jack seems to be growing a little more evil and dangerous.... Cinematographer John Alcott who also worked on BARRY LYNDON and A CLOCKWOR
