The Shining

The horror movie I chose was The Shining. In the shining a family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter. The winter weather will eventually leave this hotel secluded and unable to be reached. All the roads will be blocked off do to the severe weather and the family will spend the entire winter watching the hotel. The hotel is said to be haunted and have a spiritual presence. This spiritual presence leads to the Jack(the father) going mad. Jack sees ghosts for the next month. While Jack is taking on the responsibility of winter caretaker of The Overlook Hotel he is also working on a writing project. His writing project goes no where. When the owner of the hotel gets a premonition that something is wrong he takes a flight back to Colorado to investigate. When he gets there he sees Jack's type writer repeating the words "All work and no play make Jack a very dull boy".
