Danny’s “shine” reaches its peak at the Overlook Hotel, which mixed with the hotel’s spirits and own evil, unleashes some real horrors. The Overlook’s cook, Dick Hallorann, arrives to help Wendy and Danny after the latter reaches out to him through “the shining”, but is ambushed and killed by Jack. In the kitchen, Halloran takes Wendy and Danny through a twisting-turning path and then opens the freezer room, shot cuts, and we see him opening the door on the wrong side contradicting the previous shot. Danny’s exposure to T.V is also mentioned and it does raise questions over the authenticity of the visions that we see. Wendy runs around the hotel searching for Danny, and encounters ghosts, the flooding red liquid, skeletons in a completely changed section of the hotel covered with cobwebs and torn hangings and probably the most disturbing instance in the movie, the bear man performing fellatio on a man with blazing tribal music in the background.

The Shining is one of the best examples of Kubrick’s obsessive genius. It has been made into an iconic horror movie of the same name, starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall film and a miniseries that was aired on TV in the 90's. Scene cut and we see Wendy running after hearing Jack screaming and finds him sweating out of trepidation due to a nightmare which involved him hacking his son and wife into pieces. The Shining (1980) is an interesting film. We see a disoriented Danny walking towards them and spot bruises on his neck, with Wendy putting the blame on Jack, eventually reminding him of his earlier physical assault on Danny.
