The Shining
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.
The Shining is widely regarded as a quintessential horror film; the Overlook Hotel's malevolent presence, supernatural/psychological dread, and disturbing imagery are central to the viewing experience, more than any other genre.
Best for viewers looking for a scary, atmosphere-heavy, psychological, slow-burning and low-gore horror movie.
