This film, directed by the wonderfully brilliant Stankley Kubrick, is a phonominal horror film. The film tells the story of a man named Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) who gets him and his family a job looking after the Overlook Hotel for the winter. His boy, Danny, is kind of abnormal, considering he has an imaginery friend named Tony who lives in his mouth and talks through his fingers. Although things seem to be going great, Jack starts to get writer's block as he sits in his room trying to write his latest novel. It goes back to the legend of the man who killed his family at the Overlook years ago when Jack starts to become more and more insane. He starts to develope insanities over the weeks and finally snaps. He goes around and tries to kill his wife and boy. There is much poetic entertainment and ingenius camera work throughout the film which I cannot explain now. Please watch the film and see the great ending!
Jack Nicholson is one of our greatest actors of all time. His performance in this film prooves it. The way Jack can play wild and crazy and with his insane hair line is incredible. And words can't even explain the feeling I get when I see the Ol' Jack Grin on his face. Anyone who has seen him knows what I'm talking about. He plays the role of insane writer father husband soo well it's incredible. Totally ripped of an Oscar Nod in 1980. Bravo Mr. Nicholson!

One of my favourite performances from my favourite actor of all-time. 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'!
