With the Overlook’s chilly snow-covered setting and familiar themes of family thrown together over the holiday season, and the happiness and horror that can bring… The Shining makes an unexpected addition to our Christmas programme this year, celebrating it’s 45th anniversary.

Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s blockbuster novel remains an innovative, atmospheric chamber piece of tension. Starring Jack Nicholson as the Torrence family patriarch, isolated for the winter season in an empty mountain hotel with his wife, young son and the scheming ghostly inhabitants of the historical Overlook Hotel.
