This week we finish off Spooky Season by discussing Stanley Kubrick's rendition of The Shining! Starring Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers, and Danny Lloyd, this film is loosely based on Stephen King's 1977 novel. There are numerous differences, however, and it is all but confirmed that Kubrick brought his own vision to King's backdrop. Jack Nicholson portrays Jack Torrance, a writer who takes a job to watch after a hotel during the off-season for 5 months. He brings his family and when everyone else leaves, things start to get FREAKY. Jack begins the slow descent into madness while his wife and child are just trying to stay alive and stay sane. The level of detailed analysis that people have done on this film over the past 43 years is truly something to behold, and there is undoubtedly a lot to discuss... But Is The Shining Good?
