The Shining (1980)

This novel from Stephen King (The Shining) is a great novel. The movie was well written and I'll give it a 9 out of 10. I'll say it's one of my favorite movies in the early 80's.

Plot:

Jack Torrance becomes the caretaker of the Overlook Hotel up in the secluded mountains of Colorado. Jack, being a family man, takes his wife and son to the hotel to keep him company throughout the long and isolated nights. During their stay strange things occur when Jack's son Danny sees gruesome images powered by a force called "The Shining" and Jack is heavily affected by this. Along with writer's block and the demons of the hotel haunting him Jack has a complete mental breakdown and the situation takes a sinister turn for the worse.
