Meet the Overlook Hotel! | The Shining (1980) | Warner Bros. UK

Academy Award winner Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall star in director Stanley Kubrick's disturbing adaptation of Stephen King's blockbuster horror novel.
When writer Jack Torrance (Nicholson)--who has a history of alcoholism and child abuse--takes a job as winter caretaker for a hotel high in the Rocky Mountains, he, his wife (Duvall) and their psychic young son will be isolated until spring. But once the first blizzard closes the road out, the accumulated power of evil deeds committed at the hotel begins to drive Jack mad. Now there may be no escape for his wife and son in this haunting madness, memory and family violence.

Scatman Crothers as Hallorann was perfect.

I love the '70s and early '80s interiors with the wooden wall paneling, simple electronic technology, and people wearing brown-colored clothing. It's an era where all worries with addictions to smartphones and social media were nonexistent, and consciousness was real life.

[@curcumin417]

There is a kind of charm to that style for sure. I get nostalgic thinking about the wood trims of the wagoneers, the wall-paper and shag-carpeting, as well as the smoke filled cabins. Even the beloved Atari 2600 had a wood-trim version at one point!

So classic. The shots are so good. Showing the grandeur of this hotel. Man, did we used to build incredible places. Hotels now are just giant square boxes.

[@ThePlaton20]

I'm impressed that Halloran knows exactly how many pounds of each kind of meat is stored in the freezer.

RIP Shelley Duvall

perfect for a child !

There are many differences between the US version and UK and European versions of the Shining. The whole being shown the Gold Ballroom sequence is missing in the European version and I've seen it countless times.

One of the best horror flicks Shelly Duvall and Jack Nicholson great performance great cast😊

In the Simpsons Groundskeeper Willie tells Bart you have the Sheening then Bart says ohh you mean the Shining then Willie says shh boy you wanna get sued!! LOL

One of my top 20 favorites of all time, despite it having very little to do with the book. Jack and Wendy horribly miscast. Other problems abounded. Nonetheless, blood pouring from the sides of the elevator doors remains one of the greatest, scary visual effects of all time. Love the entire ‘All Work and No Play’ sequence starting with Wendy’s panic over seeing what Jack’s been ‘writing’. Pretty clever to come up with all the variations

[@FuturePast2019]

"very little to do with the book" and "Jack and Wendy horribly miscast." Not logic.

[@curcumin417]

Whole movie is overrated. Not scary at all.

[@Hartley_Hare]

@@curcumin417That depends what you bring to it.

[@curcumin417]

@@Hartley_Hare About 50-years of experience. It's a well-made movie, just not a particularly scary one, in my opinion of course.

[@jimmymorrison8314]

Excellent selection of scenes. Fair play to you.

[@connor_flanigan]

it was built on an ancient Indian burial ground, and was the setting of satanic rituals, witch burnings, and 5 John Denver Christmas specials.

[@gregatkinson7276]

Exact same clip as "first 10 minutes of The Shining" also from this channel......why?

[@jmason61]

The building itself, as a character. The tracking shots are made to show just how big it is.... very cool! But I always forget? It's a real hotel somewhere maybe California?

[@baho5523]

Very true the hotel itself is such a important part of the story. If I remember correctly the outsides shots were of a real hotel and the interior shots were filmed on a studio lot.

[@AndriyValdensius-wi8gw]

The Ahwanee Hotel in Yosemite National Park California. It's an expensive resort hotel. Kubrick based the interiors of the Overlook on the Ahwanee, but the whole set was built in Pinewood Studio in England. The exterior shots were shot by a second unit on location at Timberline Lodge. Mount Hood, Oregon.

Why did they have a 8 foot tall 20 foot wide fireplace in the hallway and not in the big room?

A ham-fisted director would have shown the kid throw 3 triple-6's. But as a 9 year old watching this, I thought having a hotel game room at your leisure for months on end would have been heaven on earth.

[@HonkyReduction-b2g]

Jack Nicholson was wrong for this part. Kubrick was thinking of hiring Robert De Niro but changed his mind. Kubrick was wrong. De Niro would've been perfect. The choice of actors doesn't ruin the film for me. It's still a good film and it works despite having the wrong actors.

[@setapetparty]

nah jack is perfect

The manager showing them around is actor Barry Nelson who has the honour of being the first actor to ever play James Bond on any screen (it was a 1954 tv play of Casino Royale)

I'm writing that The Shining will become available to stream on the streaming service MAX in September 2024. I'm hoping that MAX will keep The Shining on there for good because there's been times where MAX has made the bad decision to add this film and then they would remove it and take it away. they shouldn't have to do that because it's a Warner Bros. film anyway.

Jack nicholson is a very, very good actor...the shining and one fler over the cuckoos nest and Wolf and also Jimmy hoffa. And batman 1990. I,m a big jack nicholson fan please say that to jack. He was born 22 april 1937. ❤
