Why you need to watch Stanley Kubrick’s groundbreaking “The Shining” at this year’s Film4 FrightFest:

Screening on Sunday 24th August at 6:10pm, the Film4 FrightFest crowd are being treated to the extended version of this masterpiece which is not available to own in the UK!

What’s more, Kubrick’s former producer and brother-in-law Jan Harlan will be in attendance giving an invaluable insight into the mind of one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. You cannot miss this once in a lifetime opportunity!

Tickets are available to book now:

From a script he co-adapted from the Stephen King novel, Kubrick melds vivid performances, menacing settings, dreamlike tracking shots and shock after shock into a milestone of the macabre. The Shining is the director’s epic tale of a man in a snowbound hotel descending into murderous delusions. In a signature role, Jack Nicholson (“Heeeere’s Johnny!”) stars as Jack Torrance, who’s come to the elegant, isolated Overlook Hotel as off-season caretaker with his wife (Shelley Duvall) and son (Danny Lloyd).

GO.

    […] When it comes to film adaptations of classic works of literature, filmmakers are faced with a difficult choice; stay faithful to the source material and create a predictable but crowd-pleasing piece, or bravely take creative liberties and risk upsetting original fans. Visconti went with the first option with his 1967 adaptation of Albert Camus’ epoch-defining novel The Outsider (which I personally find to be an oft-overlooked film, especially considering Mastroianni’s excellent performance), and Kubrick famously opted for the latter with his 1980 version of Stephen King’s The Shining.
