About The Shining
“The Shining” is a masterpiece of terror penned by literary icon Stephen King. The film transcends its pages to etch itself into the annals of horror history. Inspired by King’s eerie stay at Colorado’s Stanley Hotel, the novel weaves a chilling tale of isolation, madness, and spectral malevolence. Stanley Kubrick’s cinematic adaptation, though diverging from King’s vision, imbues the Overlook Hotel with an ominous presence, lingering long after the credits roll. King’s encounter with the hotel’s ghostly lore birthed a literary classic. Kubrick’s visual interpretation cemented “The Shining” as a cornerstone of horror cinema, forever haunting the corridors of our imagination.
