This week at The Film Club we’re talking about one of the greatest horror films of all time, The Shining! The film follows Jack Torrance the newly hired caretaker of the Overlook Hotel. The Overlook is closing for the winter season and Jack will be living in the vacant hotel with his wife Wendy and son Danny for the next five months. Jack intends to write a novel while they stay at the Overlook and Danny immediately begins to see the spirits that reside in the hotel. As a month passes Danny begins to see more horrific images while Jack’s mental health is completely deteriorating, Wendy sees her family is trouble but doesn’t know how to get help for them while they’re completely isolated at the Overlook. As the days pass by and Jack begins to drink again he becomes more unhinged which leads to him threatening Wendy’s life. Wendy has to fight back against her husband to save her and Danny’s lives. Join us for this fun guest episode with new guest to the podcast Jack, as we dive into the world of The Shining.
