"Think of the greatest terror imaginable. Is it a monstrous alien? A lethal epidemic? Or, as in this harrowing materpiece from Stanley Kubrick, is it fear of murder by someone who should love and protect you - a member of your own family? From a script he co-adapted from the Stephen King novel, Jubrick melds vivid performances, menacing settings, dreamlike tracking shots and shock after shock into a milestone of the macabre. In a signature role, Jack Nicholson (""Heeeeere`s Johnny!"") plays Jack Torrance, who`s come to the elegant, isolated Overlook Hotel as 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. Director: Stanley Kubrick. Actors: Jack Nicholson Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers Danny Lloyd . Color. Country: United States. No Subtitles.
