The Shining

Stanley Kubrick's 1980 adaptation of Stephen King's novel transforms a snowbound Colorado hotel into a labyrinth of psychological horror. Jack Nicholson's unraveling Jack Torrance and his iconic axe-through-the-door "Here's Johnny!" are inseparable from cinema history. Meticulous, glacial, and deeply unsettling, The Shining is widely regarded as one of the greatest horror-thrillers ever made.
