The Shining is a 1980 horror film directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on Stephen King's novel of the same name.

The film stars Jack Nicholson as tormented writer Jack Torrance, Shelley Duvall as his wife, Wendy, and Danny Lloyd as their son, Danny.

The film tells the story of a writer, Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson), who accepts the job of the winter caretaker at a hotel which always gets snowed in during the winter. While his family looks around the hotel during closing day, the psychic hotel chef discovers the psychic abilities of Jack's son Danny, and Danny's ability to detect ghostly presences in the hotel. In the chef's family, this ability is called "shining". When the hotel becomes snowbound, Jack Torrance is driven mad by the ghosts in the hotel, and he tries to murder his wife and son.

Initial response to the film was mixed, and it performed moderately at the box office. Subsequent critical assessment of the film has been more favorable, and it is now viewed as a classic of the horror genre.

The entire film was shot on soundstages at EMI Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, England. The set for the Overlook Hotel was then the largest ever built. It included a full recreation of the exterior of the hotel, as well as the interiors. A few exterior shots by a second unit crew were done at Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood in Oregon. They are noticeable because the hedge maze is missing. The interiors are based on those of the Ahwahnee hotel in Yosemite National Park.

  • Brilliant! Nothing else to add

  • Awesome! I didn't know where the ideas came from but now I do.

  • Excellent video, really enjoyed watching. You have got one of the opening scenes mixed though, your film shows the tunnel which is shot 5 of the mountain drive. You blend this then with shot 7 the very last one before we see the hotel. But don't listen to me, I've watched this film 1000's of times. I can even give you the Lat/Long numbers if you wish.

  • Great work!

  • Filming location video in real life boring.

  • Well, you should have eaten your breakfast

  • GREAT JOB !!!!!!!!

  • the place looked better back when it was filmed compared to today

  • Gran clásico del teror
