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.
You know how people always say the book was better whenever you tell them you just saw a film based on a book? And you know how you just want to bitch-slap them in their haughty self-righteous face every time?
