Welcome to the Overlook Hotel, a grand resort nestled in the picturesque Rocky Mountains. Have a pleasant stay, but remember – all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy…

Stanley Kubrick’s genre-defining psychological horror observes Jack Torrance’s (Jack Nicholson) gradual descent into violent madness. Taking care of the Overlook during its winter season with his wife and young son, whilst they are utterly alone in the hotel, it soon becomes clear that other forces may reside in the walls and beneath the floorboards. Shot nearby at Elstree Studios, whilst the film adapts Stephen King’s eponymous novel, its vision is unique and distinctly Kubrick.

We are thrilled to be screening this renowned, snow-coated classic as part of The Odyssey Film Club. Make sure you stick around after the film for the discussion, where we will be accompanied by some very special guests involved in The Shining’s production!
