Local Man Hates Woman He Willingly Married - The Shining Review

We’re back this week with a belated Halloween special—and we’re finally tackling The Shining! Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 classic traps us in the snowbound Overlook Hotel, where Jack Torrance’s plans to write and reconnect with his family spiral into madness. We’ll talk about the film’s haunting imagery, its lasting influence on horror, and—of course—Jack’s palpable resentment for the woman he willingly married. Plus, we dig into Stephen King’s well-documented hatred for Kubrick’s adaptation and why the author felt the film missed the heart of his story. Grab your typewriter, your tricycle, and your room key—it’s time to shine.

About Us

Sam and Stormy died and they can't get into Heaven until they watch every single horror movie on Netflix. But, like, those movies are constantly changing, so it seems like someone is yanking their chain.
