The Shining (1980)

HERE’S JOHNNY! This masterpiece of horror comes from one of Hollywood’s ultimate visionaries, Stanley Kubrick, who took a shot at adapting Stephen King’s terrifying novel of the same name. Jack (Jack Nicholson) takes a job as a caretaker of the Overlook Hotel in the mountains whilst it’s closed during the winter. He moves in with his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and his young boy Danny (Danny Lloyd), and sets about trying to write a novel during the solace of the hotel. But as he soon discovers, he isn’t alone in the Overlook Hotel, and the ghosts of the past manipulate Jack into craving the murder of his family.  As they say; “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, and with this in mind Jack plays particularly rough, trying to break down a door with an axe just to get near his family, in one of cinemas most iconic scenes.
