Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining has been, since its initial release in 1980, a source for dread, anger, revulsion, nightmares and obsession, and that’s just from Stephen King, the wildly popular and celebrated author, who has long been on record for the uncompromising disdain he holds for this adaptation of his very different novel. Recognized for iconic lines, unforgettable imagery, and a Jack Nicholson performance so over-the-top, it puts a blush in his Joker character’s grease-painted cheeks. Despite Stephen King’s misgivings, this one’s an all-timer. Come find out for yourself at the Heights, where we purists will be playing it in 35mm, the way the film gods intended it.

Jack Torrance accepts a caretaker job at the Overlook Hotel, where he, along with his wife Wendy and their son Danny, must live isolated from the rest of the world for the winter. But they aren't prepared for the madness that lurks within.
