THE SHINING (WARNER BROTHERS)

This is the 1997 TV version of the classic Stephen King story about the evil Overlook Hotel and the three people who go there and stay. Jack Torrence is the man who is hired as caretaker and Steven Weber does an excellent job of playing the role. Rebecca DeMorney is his long suffering wife and Courtland mead is their son, who has very strong psychic abilities.
Jack slowly enters a world of demons and madness from the past and this movie does have some very good shocks including the scene with wasps, the living bushes and the woman in the bathtub...all very unsettling images.
This has been called much better than the version for the big screen which starred Jack Nicholson, but I think both are good and have merits all their own. This version is about 4 and 1/2 hours and covers much of which the movie couldn't.
