“The first epic horror film.” —Jack Kroll, Newsweek

From a script he co-adapted from the Stephen King novel, director Stanley Kubrick melds vivid performances, menacing settings, dreamlike tracking shots and shock after shock into a milestone of the macabre. In a signature role, Jack Nicholson (“Heeeere’s Johnny!”) plays Jack Torrance, who’s come to the elegant, isolated Overlook Hotel as the off-season caretaker with his wife (Shelley Duvall) and son (Danny Lloyd). Torrance has never been there before—or has he? The answer lies in a ghostly time warp of madness and murder.
