From the manufacturer

“Heeere’s Johnny!”

Prepare to enter a ghostly time warp of madness and murder in The Shining. This thriller tells the story of Jack Torrance, a writer and unemployed teacher who signs on as winter caretaker at an isolated Colorado hotel. Hoping that the arrangement will cure his writer's block and help repair his family life, Jack settles in with his wife and son, who is soon tormented by psychic premonitions. As Jack’s writing goes nowhere and his son’s visions become more and more disturbing, the man begins to unravel into a homicidal maniac bent on scaring his family to death.

Trivia

Stephen King got the idea for the original story during a family vacation at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado.

Jack Nicholson ad-libbed the infamous movie line, “Heeere’s Johnny!”

Six-year-old Danny Lloyd was so protected during filming that he didn’t realize he was making a horror movie. He didn’t see the uncut version of the film until 11 years after it was made.

The snowy maze at the end of the film was made using 900 tons of salt and crushed Styrofoam.

The Shining was one of the first movies to be filmed using the Steadicam (a camera stabilizer invented by Garrett Brown).

Product Description

Product Description

Shining, The (DVD)

Academy Award winner Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall star in director Stanley Kubrick's disturbing adaptation of Stephen King's blockbuster horror novel. When writer Jack Torrance (Nicholson)--who has a history of alcoholism and child abuse--takes a job as winter caretaker for a hotel high in the Rocky Mountains, he, his wife (Duvall) and their psychic young son will be isolated until spring. But once the first blizzard closes the road out, the accumulated power of evil deeds committed at the hotel begins to drive Jack mad. Now there may be no escape for his wife and son in this haunting madness, memory and family violence.

Review

Ostensibly a haunted house story, it manages to traverse a complex world of incipient madness, spectral murder and supernatural visions ... and also makes you jump. --Empire, Ian Nathan

But there is no way, within the film, to be sure with any confidence exactly what happens, or precisely how, or really why. Kubrick delivers this uncertainty in a film where the actors themselves vibrate with unease. --Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert

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!
