The Shining plot

Jack Torrance and his family move into the gigantic but remote and vacant Overlook Hotel. A bit away from civilization. Away from the alcoholism that thwarts Jack's career as a writer. Away from the violent outbursts that plague Jack's past. But his son knows better. For the clairvoyant Danny realizes that the evil spirits that have been through the hotel are after his special gift - the shining.

After recently re-reading the book, I felt like watching this again. Revisited on DVD, which by the way is still quite good image quality.

This long mini-series of 4.5 hours is much more faithful to the book. It never gets scary, but the atmosphere is there and it remains captivating.
