item description

Think of the greatest terror imaginable. Is it a monstrous alien? a lethal epidemic? Or, as in this harrowing masterpiece 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 Steven King Novel, 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 ("Heeere'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(Daniel Lloyd). Torrance has never been there before - or has he? The answer lies in a ghostly time warp of madness and murder.
