“Radiates cold, anti-humanly indifferent terror.” –Slant Magazine
Ring in the new year with Stanley Kubrick’s snowbound masterpiece of modern horror, THE SHINING. Kubrick’s visionary take on Stephen King’s wildly popular novel has deservedly become one of the most iconic and recognizable works of horror cinema. Indefinable in the most unsettling sense, THE SHINING continues to reward critics and fans alike for its many layers of meaning and visual subtleties behind the deceptively simple story of the ill-fated Torrance family. Starring Jack Nicholson at his psychotic finest and Shelley Duvall, in an undersung scorcher of a performance as his beleaguered wife, THE SHINING is a perfectly unsettling way to ease into the winter doldrums.
This film is screening as part of Arkadin’s December-long series, IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER, spotlighting films that show winter in all its dark, desolate beauty.
