A writer takes a job as a winter caretaker at an isolated (and haunted) hotel. After he and his family move in for the winter, the hotel's spirits slowly drive the writer mad.
'The Shining' is lauded for its atmospheric tension, innovative camera work, and Jack Nicholson's performance. Kubrick's direction and psychological horror elements are often highlighted. Criticisms include deviations from the novel, underdeveloped characters, and perceived lack of coherence. Shelley Duvall's performance divides opinions. Pacing and length are contentious, with some finding it slow and others appreciating the build-up. Despite mixed views, it remains influential in horror.
