The major reason for this is that there were too many discrepancies between his book and the film. ![]() King has said in the past that The Shining is the only adaption he could really remember hating at the time. Torrance moves there with his wife, Wendy Torrance (Duvall), and their young son, Danny Torrance (Danny Lloyd), who has psychic powers called “the shining.” However, as time goes on, Jack’s sanity begins to badly deteriorate as he is influenced by the supernatural forces within the hotel. The psychological horror movie follows Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson), a writer and recovering alcoholic, who becomes the off-season caretaker of the isolated Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies. Today, The Shining is regarded as one of the greatest horror films ever made and is frequently revisited by audiences. Not only that, but many have also come to view both her performance (and the film as a whole), as a masterpiece. However, the Worst Actress nomination for Shelley Duvall was officially revoked after it surfaced that Kubrick had badly mistreated her on set. When The Shining first premiered, it received mixed reviews and garnered two Razzie Award nominations for Worst Director and Worst Actress. For many, Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining stands out as a classic horror masterpiece, despite it having a bit of a sordid history. ![]()
