The Shining (1980)
We've seen many adaptations of Stephen King's works. When it comes to horror, none have ever matched the 1980 version of The Shining. It’s got a perfect cast. The mood by director Stanley Kubrick carefully juggles the plot's inherent weirdness and terror. It’s packed with so many iconic visuals and moments that one viewing is enough for this film to become permanently imprinted into your brain.
Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson), takes a caretaking job at the isolated Overlook Hotel. While the resort is closed for the winter season, he will maintain the building with his wife, Wendy (Shelley Duvall), and son Danny (Danny Lloyd) at his side. The quiet environment is a great opportunity for him to do some much-needed writing between his duties but something… off about the hotel begins to influence the family.
There are some weird, seemingly conflicting elements present here. Any normal horror film would be content placing the family in a haunted hotel while the weather prevents them from escaping. The Shining goes the extra mile and throws psychic powers into the mix. The titular “Shining” is an ability possessed by young Danny. It allows him to telepathically communicate with the hotel’s cook, Dick Halloran (Scatman Crothers), and see into the hotel’s bloody past. This ability means all three of the Torrance family members experience the Overlook in different ways, separating them from each other emotionally. United, they’d surely be capable of figuring out that something’s off about the place and find a way to leave. Because their experience with the Overlook is so different, the danger goes unnoticed until it's too late.
Admittedly, Jack Nicholson does play the role of crazy a bit too well. It’s not really a surprise when his mind starts to unravel but he’s too charismatic for you to give up on his character. When Jack Torrance finally goes bug nuts, Nicholson delivers one memorable moment after another. Danny Lloyd does well in a mostly reactionary role but it’s more than the way he looks wide-eyed and afraid whenever the Overlook unleashes its various terrors; he has a sweet and innocent demeanour that never becomes treacly. He feels like a real kid. Performance-wise, the one I always gravitate towards is Shelley Duvall. She’s got such an unusual face. She seems so frail and nervous from the beginning. You see in the three of them a story that stretches beyond the edges of the screen and when she is gripped with the full terror of the Overlook, you’re sweating. Her panic is so infectious you’ll be screaming at the screen, cheering her on to just forget about everything and GET OUT OF THERE! - even if escape seems impossible. It makes for great suspense.
That’s another key word in this film, the suspense. Early on, Dick Halloran warns Danny about room 237. You know what’s going to happen. Something’s in there. We’re going to see it. You can’t wait… but you’re scared. The long shots as the family make their way to the hotel show you just how isolated they are, how hopeless it would be to expect help to arrive in time. The hotel's memories of gore and blood come and go so quickly you wonder if you actually saw that… or if you’re losing your mind. The soundtrack is incredible. Overal, sound is used so effectively. A favorite moment comes from Danny, wheeling his tricycle through the seemingly endless corridors over carpet, then hardwood floor, around one corner, then carpet, hardwood floor... Past all these closed doors in which anything could be hiding. Rattle-Rattle-Rattle CLUNK! Rattle-Rattle-Rattle CLUNK!
The Shining is a superb horror film. Its imagery is startling and disturbing. It’s also a great deal of fun to simply look at. The use of color in the hotel, the tracking shots through those corridors, the music and then there's the final shot - it raises all sorts of hair-raising questions. You can watch it again and again and always find something new to see in The Shining. (On Blu-ray, November 9, 2019)

Episode 420: A man's position in society
One of the most story-productive relationships in the first 40 weeks of Dark Shadows was that between reclusive matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard and her brother, high-born ne’er-do-well Roger Collins.
