12: The Shining (1980)

The Knights book a reservation at the Overlook Hotel as they break down the timeless classic, “The Shining”!

Released in 1980 to lukewarm reviews and singular praise for another powerhouse performance from three-time Academy Award winner Jack Nicholson, “The Shining” has gained acclaim and adoration since its debut as a masterclass in isolation horror. Based on a novel by famous storyteller Stephen King, the film adaptation occupies a unique space in the films based on the authors work. It is well-known that director and screenwriter Stanley Kubrick’s film divulges heavy from the book that it is based on, so much to the point where it is reported that a personal animosity between the two developed in the aftermath of its release. Despite this, however, the film stands alone as a horrifying and mercurial watch that leaves audiences aghast as they witness Nicholson’s character devolve into supernatural madness.
