The Shining

All work and no play makes Oscar-winning actor Jack Nicholson-the caretaker of an isolated resort-go way off the deep end, terrorizing his young son and wife (Shelley Duvall).

Nicholson plays Jack Torrance, who's come to the elegant, isolated Overlook Hotel as off-season caretaker. Torrance has never been there before-or has he? The answer lies in a ghostly time warp of madness and murder.

Product Description

Shining, The (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital)

A married couple with a small son are employed to look after a resort hotel high in the Colorado mountains. As a result, they are the sole occupants during the long winter. The hotel manager warns them not to accept the job because of a tragedy that occurred during the winter of 1970. Based on the book by Stephen King.

Fantastic film and excellent transfer. I was glad it also included the regular non-4K Blu-Ray disc because it does not mention it on the front cover. I’ve posted a picture of the back cover. Unless you need a digital copy, this is a great buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie in every aspect
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2023

The movie The Shining was excellently produced, written, and directed, with exemplary actors. The producer, writer, and director, Stanley Kubrick, has a clear vision of what he wants the movie to be about, how it should look, and how it should feel. He then executes this near flawlessly, with only a few moments containing imperfection.
The casted actors are great, with the mother portrayed as caring but weary of the hotel, and her husband, the father shown as seeming normal, though possibly a little bit off putting. Eventually he changes drastically, losing his mind. The child actor is in my opinion one of, if not the best casting choices, doing surprisingly well for portraying an extraordinary child who's hiding his gift, and he does extremely well during the more intense parts of the film, such as when he acts possessed. He changes his voice and seems unfocused.
The technical aspects of film making are well executed too. The camera is only shaky during scenes where it helps empower the mood, or during air shots such as a birds-eye view of a car. The special effects are used sparsely, but well, such as blood, ice, and more. The musical score immensely affects the mood, and the sound rarely glitches or seems off, and the editing is sometimes a little choppy but on par for when the movie came out.
The story is based around a father who accepts a job taking care of the Overlook Hotel in the Colorado mountains over the winter so he can write a novel. It closes due to roads not being passable, so they are isolated, and practically trapped. He has been told that one of the previous caretakers went mad and murdered his family, but this doesn’t faze him. He still brings his wife and young son to live with him. However, not everyone and everything are as they seem.
The mother, named Wendy, played by Shelly Duval, does a great job of playing a convincing role. She expresses all fear and emotions as if what was happening was true. The father, Jack, played by Jack Nicholson, embraces the role, making it seem as if he is truly losing his mind. The child, Danny, played by Danny Lloyd, is an extraordinary child actor. He has an imaginary friend, Tony, who seems to voice the boy’s visions. There’s also another prominent character, the chef, Dick, played by Scatman Crowthers. He does a great job acting, and his character explains to Danny his gift that they share, which he calls shining. Shining is the ability to mentally see the past and future of places and communicate with others. He attempts to mentor Danny as much as he can.
The story is paced slowly at first, but speeds up dramatically during the last 20 minutes or so. This pacing creates tension through dramatic irony and suspense, as you know something is going to happen, but nothing does for a while, or only small things that are out of the ordinary but nothing too horrifying.
The writing of the movie, though terrific, isn’t too much of a feat, since the movie is based on a book by Stephen King of the same name. The writing interprets this book, so it is not original. However, this interpretation is great, making it Kubrick's own work.
Overall, the movie is excellent horror, though it’s slow at first. The buildup allows eerie things to occur, showing a mental spiral of the father into insanity as more and more happens, then climaxing and all the suspense is released and replaced with action, furthering the horror. It’s a great movie but won’t be as enjoyable to those who prefer fast paced, thrilling horror compared to a slow, psychological horror.

5.0 out of 5 stars bleedingfilms.com review of 'The Shining'
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2012
Verified Purchase
This is more about my experience than an actual review. OK here we go....I read the Stephen King novel twice before I finally got to see this movie at a late night showing in Southend, Essex(UK)in the 80's. Stephen King had a problem with Stanley Kubricks interpretation, other websites go into this in more detail but to be fair if you want the actual version of the book, Stephen King remade it in 1997 as a TV mini series, and that version is pretty good. It has a couple of moments in Stephen King's film version of 'The Shining' which I wish was in Mr Kubrick's version. 'The Shining' has influenced me throughout my life. I remember in the 80's when I used to say it was my favourite film of all time, people would look down their noses in disapproval or laugh. Nowadays when I say `The Shining' is one of my all time favourites people agree...My instinct was correct all those years ago.

For me there is nothing more scary than having Jack Nicholson chasing you down long corridors with an axe in a hotel isolated in the middle of bloody nowhere. Period. (OK, I lied, if you have played games `Dead Space' and 'Dead Space 2' on Xbox 360 that's not scary, it's bloody terrifying!). I took my film club buddies to a special screening of `The Shining' at the REX Cinema in Berkhamsted, a beautiful red and gold art deco cinema, unmatched by any other venue here in the UK. This cinema will blow you away: [...]

The atmosphere of The Rex was perfect to see `The Shining'. The icing on the cake, which was unexpected, was that Kubrick's daughter introduced the film. `Wow, it doesn't get better than this' I said at the time. It was a dream come true to see this film for the second time on the big screen. My good friend Wayne had never seen it before, he said afterwards...'I dunno what to say, I can't say I liked it because it was an experience. It blew me away. I'm speechless'. Wayne's totally right, the film is an experience and one that I've cherished.

I remember when I was at drama school we had to be a famous person for a day and I chose to be Jack Nicholson. When I arrived at the school in character, in my old black city mini, I had the third year students check the school over for bombs and security because I asked them to be my body guards. My explanation for driving a small car was due to the fact my limo had broken down. I (Jack) was visiting the school to talk about `The Shining 2'. I never forget Damon Albarn (who was in my class at drama school) decided to be the Ayatollah Khomeini and said he wished he thought of having body guards like I had. I also learned Jacks lines from `The Shining' and continued to use them throughout that drama school day. Great memories!

The film had an ongoing impact with me, 'Jack Torrence' would be the part I was born to play, but damn, Stanley made it when I was too young to play a recovering alcoholic father. Years ago when we went to Canada and crossed over to Maine, I enquired about the location of the `Overlook Hotel'. At the time I didn't know the inside scenes were film sets. And I was way off target to travel to the actual Timberline lodge which is an hours drive from Portland. The lodge is featured in the film as the outside of the `Overlook Hotel'. So eventually a video shop owner in Maine (with a shelved wall dedicated to only Stephen King videos) told me where the man himself, Stephen King, lived... I was going to press the button on the open security gate to Stephen's home, but my bottle went, I chickened out. The home was huge, red with iron fencing with three serpent headed iron bats resting on the gate entrances.

My friend Guy has an actual framed print from the film which is very cool, I have a Blu - ray copy I bought overseas which is the full version. A long time ago I had the idea for a film `Shining 2'. The story; a group goes on a trip to see where `The Shining' locations and influences are ....and one of the group actually has some kind of breakdown similar to the Jack Torrence character. I remember seeing a similar idea in the sequel to 'The Blair Witch Project'. I missed the boat on that one, I had a good idea and someone else not only thought of it as well, they had the means to implement it.

Nicholson is spectacular in the role of Jack Torrence, Shelley Duvall is an absolute wreck as the story develops. The making of `The Shining' by Kubrick's daughter is enlightening, especially about Kubrick's demands on Shelley. The film is way ahead of its time, especially with the Steadicam work that enables the camera operator to run smooth following the actors, most notably the child on the cycle Go Kart rolling over wood and carpet, in turn creating the distinct changing floor thud sounds. Awesome stuff. I also remember seeing the soundtrack available on record once in London, I didn't buy it and boy do I regret it now because it's unavailable. So many film makers have been influenced by this film and deservedly so. Kubrick's obsession with attention to detail is crazy or genius; everyone has their own take on this. I think it's a bit of both. However, it is the end result that matters.

I wonder what people in their twenties and thirties feel about the film. Maybe it's not on their radar or they have their own personal film that's made a mark. Who knows. It's inevitable one day `The Shining' will be remade. You could research so much about this film online, it really is that interesting. I remember reading that Simon Cowell almost worked on it but decided not to. I hope this film holds it's value in the future, it's so unique.

I'll leave you with this thought; Can you imagine an amusement thrill ride park that has a huge special set built exactly like the Overlook Hotel and real snow covering an external large hedge maze and when you visit this experience....a Jack Nicholson lookalike (one that can act of course) comes after you. Some people would pay alot of money for that thrill. And so would I.

Terrific.

5.0 out of 5 stars confinement à l'auberge...
Reviewed in France on October 31, 2020

Cette famille, on la « connaît » plus ou moins. Et si elle se retrouve confinée, ça n'est pas un hasard, ni à cause d'un grossier vi-rus ni par décision gouvernementale. Non, ce confinement, elle l'a bel et bien choisi. Pire encore : ça ne se passe pas chez eux, ni comme prévu. Quand sort ce film au début des années 80,  Stephen King  jouit déjà d'une immense notoriété d'écrivain. Pas mal de films ont déjà été adaptés à partir de ses romans. Qui a oublié  Dead Zone  de David Cronenberg ou encore  Christine  de John Carpenter (deux grands succès publics et critiques bien mérités) ? La réputation de Stephen King, maître du suspense et de l'horreur, n'est plus à faire. En ce temps-là, pas de smartphone bien sûr. Pas d'internet non plus. La communication avec l'extérieur se limite à la voiture, le train, l'avion et le téléphone fixe. Voici donc une famille isolée pendant quatre mois dans un immense hôtel de villégiature, « a holiday resort » comme ils disent en Amérique... MAIS, big problem en cas de pépin : pas de voisin à la ronde... Pas d'habitant à moins de trente bornes... Pire encore : l'hôtel a été bâti sur un ancien cimetière indien. Superstitions ? Malédictions ? Ancien instituteur, Jack ( Jack Nickolson ) décroche un job pour la saison hivernale : il sera concierge dans cet hôtel dont le nom est Overlook (« Overlook », étrange comme nom, car si ça évoque un point élevé où l’on domine sur le reste du paysage, le verbe signifie « négliger » ou bien « oublier »…). En attendant, l'entretien d’embauche s'est bien passé (première scène). Le cadre et le paysage sont grandioses (l’État du Montana). Mais dès le début, le petit Dick pose problème (Dick, c'est le prénom du petit garçon, leur fils unique). Il dit entendre une voix intérieure… Un autre personnage vit en lui... Il le fait parler... La mère est inquiète ( Shelley Duvall , sublime) : elle fait fait appel à un pédopsychiatre.

Le film de Kubrick n'a pas besoin d'une énième chronique qui, au-delà de la synopsis, au delà de la qualité du produit lui-même (Blu-ray 4K + Blu-ray) reste angoissant à maints égards (le rôle de la musique...). J'ai même envie de dire qu'il y a du David Lynch dans  The Shining  (mystère, paranormal). En tout cas, c'est sans doute le film le plus connu de son auteur, avec  2001, L'Odyssée de l'espace , même si j'ai une petite préférence pour  Dr. Folamour  (1964),  Barry Lyndon  (1975), sans oublier  L'Ultime Razzia  et  Les Sentiers de la Gloire , deux films réalisés respectivement en 1955 et 1957). Librement adapté de  The Shining  (l'enfant lumière, en Français), le film trahit la trame originale et même le dénouement. Qu'importe, un film n'a pas vocation à être fidèle à un roman. Le résultat reste en tout cas fascinant. Et s'il existe une famille éclatée, c'est bien celle-ci : les Torrance. Pourtant, ils ont tout pour vivre correctement leur confinement : des provisions, de l'espace, du calme... Et quand Jack trouve ce boulot de concierge et se lance à la tâche pour commencer un roman, il se dit pourquoi pas. Et puis, pourquoi ça devrait mal tourner ? Cela dit, on l'a averti (lors de l'entretien d'embauche...) que ça ne serait pas une tâche facile que de rester aussi longtemps confiné, surtout à l'approche de l'hiver avec ses tempêtes de neige et ses bourrasques. Ils seront encore plus isolés. Et puis, dans le passé, bien des choses se sont produites dans cet hôtel. Un meurtre atroce (qui a oublié Grady ?). Mais il accepte, le Jack. Après tout, le cadre n'est-il pas superbe ?

Kubrick réalise à mon sens le plus grand film d'horreur du cinéma (ou plutôt l'un des plus grands films à suspense - il y a une différence...). Jamais égalé. Jamais surpassé. Dans le genre, je le mets au même niveau d'épouvante que le  Psycho  d'Alfred Hitchcock. Et c'est du même niveau que  Misery , le film de Rob Reiner, avec l'incomparable Kathy Bates. Peut-être que le film de Kubrick est plus diabolique, plus terrifiant, plus effrayant (âmes sensibles s'abstenir, vraiment...) que les films d'Hitchcock et de Reiner. Mais quelle maestria dans cette mise en scène (comment oublier cette scène surréaliste avec Lloyd, le barman ?). Quel sentiment d'asphyxie et d'étrange ! Même si au fil des visionnages l'on découvre de petits détails amusants, l'ensemble reste toujours fascinant (comme tous ces bagages lors de l'arrivée de la famille Torrance à l'hôtel, alors qu'ils ont fait le trajet dans une voiture toute minuscule, une Coccinelle Volkswagen si je me souviens bien...). Tout est filmé avec minutie, et une précision déconcertante (perspectives, géométrie des couloirs, labyrinthes). J'ai particulièrement aimé les scènes avec le gardien campé par Scatman Crothers (superbe acteur que vous avez déjà croisé dans  Vol au-dessus d'un nid de coucou  ou encore dans  Bronco Billy ), notamment quand il s'inquiète de ce qui peut se passer à l'hôtel... Car le personnage a lui aussi ce don (The Shining). Mais chut, chut... hush, hush ! Don't tell me more. Voyez ce film ou revoyez-le dans cette édition (ultime ?) ou dans le blu-ray Warner de 2015 ( The Shining ). Langues disponibles : Français, anglais, espagnol, etc. Sous-titres français, anglais... Une superbe édition. Attention toutefois : si vous n'avez pas de lecteur blu-ray 4K (nette amélioration visuelle par rapport à l'édition Blu-ray de 2007 et 2015), ça n'est pas la peine de se jeter sur ce produit... Et maintenant..., bonne séance, confinement ou pas.

____________________________________________

(1) Lire les superbes chroniques (plus ou moins longues) laissées sur le site (Tornado, Luc B.), concernant notamment la version américaine de 20 minutes de plus (144 minutes) sortie en 2015. La mienne n'est qu'une goutte d'eau dans cet océan, histoire de donner un avis personnel bien limité. On ne manquera pas non plus le bouquin de Michel Ciment, préfacé par Martin Scorsese ( Kubrick , chez Calmann-lévy). Quant aux troubles du petit Danny, on peut se demander si ça n'est que le fruit de son imagination, un jeu ou autre chose, de l'ordre de la schizophrénie...
