A couple and their son become caretakers in a very large hotel during the winter. Danny (their son) is often found playing on his own, or is he? It's very cold and snow is falling (as it does), covers the ground and surrounds the hotel. A lonely, eerie setting for the movie. Jack is a writer and gets quite upset when he can't get on with his novel. A brilliant performance from Jack Nicholson coping (or not) through the festive season. Full of scary scenes.
A film that was just way ahead of its time, outstanding performances from all, Jack is one of the most frightening characters ever portrayed!! Dvd arrived in pristine condition in a really cool sleeve. 10/10 from Zavvi on this one.
